1. If you can clear 6'6" or higher, you'll have a good chance of placing in some dual meets. I've coached MS track for 10 years and the highest I've seen a MS girl vault is 9'. The record at my school was 8'3".
2. http://www.chacha.com/question/what-are-the-basics-of-pole-vaulting The basics of pole vaulting is gripping the pole right, using a 10 or 12 stride approach, running and carrying the pole, the pole transfer, the takeoff, the flight phase, the hang and push press, the swing and extension,& then the turn and clearance.
