Subject: Re: "True Height" story
To: Becca Gillespy Hi Becca, My name is David Naster. I wrote the story "True Height." It is a fictional story I made up. I submitted it to Chicken soup for the soul. I never said it was a true story nor did they ever ask me if it was. I never pretended it to be a true story. I intended for it to just be a great heart-warming fictional story - which it is. I am not sure if Chicken Soup portrays the story as true. If they do, I was never asked. So there is the truth. Please enjoy the story as simply a story,

Who is Michael stone in junior Olympics?
According to a story by David Naster in A 3rd Serving of Chicken Soup for the Soul, Michael Stone was a blind pole vaulter who beat the National and International pole vault record in an unknown year. A link is found below.(the story is fictional, and meant only for inspiration, and not facts--although it does pretty accurately take you though the mind set of a vaulter in competition)

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.
What are the basic rules of pole vault?
The vaulter may use a pole (under his/her wieght) to go over a cross bar. If the cross bar falls off before the vaulter is off the mat, it is counted as missed. A scratch is when a vaulter's pole hits the back of the box and the vaulter doesn't leave the ground. Besides that it's a unique event considering there are vaulter have many different techniques.

Which describes the relationship between potential and kinetic energy when a pole vaulter's pole has reached its maximum bend point?
When a pole vaulter's pole has reached its maximum bend point, the potential energy stored in the pole is at its maximum, as the pole is under high tension. At the same time, the kinetic energy of the pole vaulter is also increasing as they approach the release point. The potential energy stored in the pole is eventually converted into kinetic energy of the vaulter as they propel themselves over the bar.
