In 1977, Bruce Caldwell founded FiberSport to produce the best pole vault pole of all time. Previously, Bruce worked for Skypole in California and privately produced poles to select vaulters to show his creative design patterns. Early on, FiberSport poles were immediate performers. Caldwell’s pole designs helped athletes like Billy Olson, Earl Bell, Joe Dial, and Wally Kozakiewicz set records by using his FiberSport poles, including in the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow, where Wally captured the world record 2 times and won the Olympic Gold Medal. FiberSport poles continued to be produced to select vaulters while Caldwell ventured into other track and field products and services.
