Suhr at Akron PV Convention
AKRON (USA): The University of Akron track and field program will host the Fifth-Annual Pole Vault Convention at Stile Athletics Field House from January 7th and 8th next year. The event is designed to be an all-inclusive pole vault experience for athletes, coaches and parents and will feature classroom sessions, learn-by-doing clinics, and competitions. Instructors will include world-class coaches and vaulters, in addition to top collegiate and club coaches from the region. The Pole Vault Convention is the vision of Zips’ head coach Dennis Mitchell, who had a pair of former standout student-athletes in Shawn Barber and Annika Roloff compete in the Summer Olympics this past August in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Olympic winner 2012 Jenn Suhr confirmed her attendance via twitter: “Excited to announce I will be jumping on Jan 7 and Speaking on Jan 8 at the Akron Pole Vault Convention.”
