- Tim Mack won the men's pole vault at the Olympic trials in
Sacramento before winning the Olympic Gold Medal in Athens with a clearance of 5.95
meters/19-6.25, a new Olympic record. Mack credits much of his success to the Gayle
Hatch strength training program which he began in 1994 when he entered the University of
Tennessee. Mack graduated from UT with a bachelor's in Education and continued his
studies at UT earning his masters in Human Performance and Sports Studies. Mack's
pole vaulting coach is Jim Bemiller.
