[@henrybennett21]

[@lucafornari973]

I come back to watch this progression every few weeks. Garrett is a beast and a super nice guy, wishing him a fruitful retirement from vaulting

[@akarilotube]

Your dad was a blast to jump against and party with! Congrats on your achievements.

[@HirschPower]

I’ve saved this video for the past few years, and I come back to it every now and then. I wish I had done pole vault in high school.

[@HirschPower]

Damn man

[@StarkeyStables]

I love that he was on my zebra poles all the way to 14-10 and then on Mel's poles to 16-1!!!

[@kinggalvan7107]

StarkeyStables what pole did you use for the 14”10 jump. Height and Flex?

[@uneedamuracle]

Such a powerful swing.

[@pablotorres6997]

Great video production. Fantastic journey as a pole vaulter and young man. Congratulations!

[@mikekinsela7210]

I wish I still had my VCR Tapes of my pole vaulting days in high school. 1979-1982 then 1983-84 college. They are long ago lost.

[@scotthuffman3916]

Fantastic video Garrett!

[@bekayjay21]

[@ejej3084]

Very good video edit. Your progression is excellent. Keep it up.

[@javierdelarosa2772]

[@OGNetwork]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing and congrats on a great career

[@ArizonapolevaultacademyQC]

[@bekayjay21]

Oh yay I might be able to do this. Freshman going 11”3, track season doesn’t start for 6 months

[@Piper-eo2bj]

Well, it's been 6 months

[@armwrestlinggeek]

Indeed it has, this is my first year vaulting as a sophomore

[@ian-hm6cx]

Dad same

[@yeahsev7586]

Gotta say that’s pretty cool

[@juliaherda6553]

Amazing!!

[@isaacvaults4140]

you had the most growth your 10th grade year

[@dinozucchi]

Redshirt in college? What’s going on? Those heights are well above D1 average.

[@ArizonapolevaultacademyQC]

You have 4 years of NCAA eligibility as well as an optional redshirt year. This redshirt year can either be used in case of injury, or strategically for training without competition.

God loves y’all

[@RetroVRR]

[@polevaultscience2990]

[@moritzsparbrod3966]

[@W80Ham]

[@ishandhanani8512]

I feel like in terrible now 😂 I'm in 9th grade going 10'

[@based_dragon_0110]

That's a perfectly reasonable goal for a freshman, don't worry

[@jsk-sp4bh]

Same lol I feel like I should be getting like 11’6 now

[@evastigenberg3537]

Not DUblantis

[@PacoOtis]

Wow! You can always tell when we Americans make videos as they have shit intrusive distracting music! We really suck at it! Did an adult review this video before release?

[@q12aw50]

There’s a reason you’re the only one who liked your comment

[@MattKhosrowRailfan]

Mondo’s better

[@jadenramirez7062]

True that

[@MattKhosrowRailfan]

Jaden Ramirez you can’t compete with the u-20 record of 6.05 meters

[@jadenramirez7062]

Which is also the 4th greatest pole vault ever

[@MattKhosrowRailfan]

Jaden Ramirez still good for a freshman in college

[@jadenramirez7062]

Hell yeah hes got the potential to be the next goat no doubt
