Apex Vaulting is a new and exciting pole vault club that began just this past spring track season in West Milford, New Jersey, and is the only pole vault club that has its roots in the Bergen Passaic county areas.  In this inaugural year of Apex Vaulting our athletes proudly represented the club by producing some of the top performances in the area and state, but more importantly all our athletes have continued to progress and improve their technique through their continued hard work and study of proper and safe pole vault methods and models.  
 
Director and Coach Branko Miric began coaching in the 2005 season and in this short time has had athletes break school records 10 times.  Members Adam Lazor and Casey Monks of West Milford were the indoor boys and girls Passaic County champions in the pole vault.  During Spring Track Adam Lazor repeated as Passaic county champ and Pete Matano of Wayne Hills broke his personal record by 1’6” with a jump of 13’ to finish in second place in the outdoor Passaic County Championship.  Michelle Favre and Tim Blashford both won their state sectional titles and broke their respective state sectional records.  Blashford in fact broke the former record of 14'1/2" that stood for over 35 years with a jump of 14'7".
