The Abilene Convention & Visitors Bureau (ACVB), an affiliate of the Abilene Chamber of Commerce, is thrilled to announce that the Winter Vault Classic will host its second annual indoor pole vault meet in Abilene, December 28, 2024.
The Winter Vault Classic is an annual indoor pole vault-specific event hosted in Abilene, TX. The event started in 2023 as an idea by the McMurry Track & Field staff to support the sport of pole vaulting in West Texas. The inaugural event hosted 138 athletes from across Texas, and was a huge success with many PR's and set the bar for athletes during the indoor season.
"As a city with a rich history of pole vaulting, Abilene has long been a place where athletic excellence and community pride come together," said Robert Lopez, Vice President of the Abilene Convention & Visitors Bureau. "We’re thrilled to welcome talented vaulters from across Texas to continue that legacy and become part of the story that makes Abilene a top destination for sports events."
The 2024 indoor pole vault meet is anticipated to generate approximately 80 hotel room nights and an estimated $52,100 in economic impact for local businesses. Key events will be hosted at the Taylor County Expo Center. This will mark the Winter Vault Classic's second annual indoor pole vault meet in Abilene.
