Default Incredible Kid

This is a video of Armand Duplantis pole vaulting 11'2 as a 10 year old. He is now 11 and has gone 12'9" He is the WORLD RECORD Holder for 7,8,9,10,11 year old kids. He plays on my baseball team and is humble as they come...You can see his 12'9 jump by going to youtube and doing a search for armand duplantis.

Default Family of Talent

Family of Talent...Mom is from sweeden and was a heptathlete at LSU...Dad is Greg Duplantis also vaulted at LSU and Professionally with a best of over 19 feet...Brother Andreas was on the Lafayette Little League team that went to Williamsport and he is also the 5-A State Champ and just graduated from Lafayette High. He has a middle brother not sure of his name and is going to vault in Sweeden this summer...that much talent in one family! and good people to boot. Armand is an awesome soccer and baseball player but will probably focus on Polevaulting once he gets to high school....The video wasn't his best...He currently holds the 11 year old record at 12'9 inches...do a search for armand duplantis on you tube for the 12'9" jump in reno
