Robert "Bob" Pullard was the first Black Pole Vaulter to clear 18'00." Ironically the first three Black Pole Vaulters to clear 18'00" all competed for the University of Southern California (USC) a university with a long and storied history in the pole vault with 5 Olympic Medalists in the event. Pullard worked as an officer for the Los Angeles Police Department, until his death in the late 80's.

Is there a pole rating available for a 200 pound vaulter?

There are many poles rated for a 200 lbs vaulter. First a vaulter of that size must work on their technique to ensure that he can use such a large pole. Then depending on the vaulters height and jump a vaulter can buy a 14' - 17' 7" that is rated for a 200 lbs vaulter. But a 14' 200 is not the same pole as a 16' 200. Please look up a pole size chart before picking the right size pole.
