vaulters
Athletes clearing bars
Vaulters are people who vault—leaping over obstacles or propelling themselves upward, typically with the aid of hands or a pole.
The term appears most often in athletics: pole vaulters launch themselves over a high bar, while gymnastic vaulters spring off apparatus.
The vaulters cleared the fence and scattered into the woods.
