Kane Athletics was established to introduce and train athletes of all ages in the events of the pole vault and the long jump.  Kane Athletics was started by Peter Kane, a vaulter who jumped for The College of New Jersey (formerly Trenton State College) class of '02 in NJ.  There he vaulted 15' and long jumped 20'.  He graduated with degree in K-12 Health and Physical Education.  This year Coach Kane will be the Head Varsity Boys spring track coach at Cranford High School and an Assistant Varsity coach in the winter.  For the past 4 years he was coaching at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School (his alma mater).  During his 4 years at Scotch Plains-Fanwood he produced several Meet of Champions contenders, Two Watchung Conference Champions, All County Vaulters- including First team Max Carow, second team Tom Pennella and Kate Zaleski, and he also had several records broken including the Union County Girls pole vault relay record, the Union County Female Individual pole vault record and the Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School pole vault record.   Coach Kane is also a certified member of the Natioanl Pole Vault Coaches Association (NPVCA) and a certified strength and conditioning coach.

This past summer (2006) Kane Athletics held their first Pole Vault / Long Jump Camp at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School.  This camp is open to anyone anywhere that wants to get better at vaulting or long jumping OR wants to learn for the first time!
