Pole vaulting video #5

This is from 1978. My Dad was filming me vaulting in an invitational. It was filmed with a movie camera back then. I believe this vaulter is from Brookfield Central. I vaulted for Greendale. I don't know the vaulters name. He was very good, and had a wild aggressive run. His take-off on this vault was way out (like Bubka) and his Cata-Pole sent him flying right. The Bar was at 12' 6". I believe he broke his collar bone and dislocated his shoulder besides being knocked unconscious. I always wanted to find him and let him know I had this film. Now with youtube- maybe he'll see it and recognize himself. Maybe someone in Wisconsin who vaulted in the late 70's remembers him. Then again ... Maybe he wouldn't want to see it.
