At the recent
NFHS Track and Field Rules Interpreters Meeting, a request was made to receive
contact information for pole vault manufacturers. This contact information is
current at this time and will be useful to contact the manufacturers to review
the company’s process and policy for replacing weight labels or obtaining a
label for a pole manufactured prior to the weight label
requirement.
Each
manufacturer has its own process to address the replacement of weight labels.
It should be noted that the manufacturers will only supply, when appropriate,
replacement labels for their manufactured product and not poles from another
company. Specific needs and questions should be directed to the
manufacturers.
