Junior Pan Am's Results?

[rainbowgirl28]

And here is what Chelo told me about Tommy (and was too lazy to post herself )

Tommy was way over 5 meters on his first attempt, but came down on it. His second attempt he ran better, was under, and bailed. His third attempt he was under again, went for it, but didn't quite clear the bar.

Hey guys,

I am here in Barbados covering the meet for the NSSF. Look for some photos and results via our website: www.nationalscholastic.org.

There is no internet connection at the track (or most of the island it seems) so its sketchy posting stuff.

The conditions were perfect, nice and warm with a breezy tailwind right down the middle.

The girls go tomorrow at 11am. Ill see what I can do to get up the girls vault results....

If you could Give us the results and recap of the girls competition when you get a hold of some internet that would be awesome. Also please let us know about Donovan's insane performance in the vault. What happened to his HJ though? Almost a foot below his PR.

Looks like Kira and Julene had great days!

The Pole Vault
OUR BEST ARE THE BEST
Mike Byrnes Report

This was the best contingent the US has ever sent to a major international competition. Two high schoolers, National high school record holder KIRA COSTA, San Joaquin, Fresno 13-0.85 and USATF National Junior champ JULENE BAILEY, Nampa HS, ID, 13-06.5. On a bright, windy day here at the National Stadium, both cleared 4.0 meters, along with Brazilian Karla Silva, making it an interesting competition. The Brazilian passed at 4.05 (13-03.5). Costa, vaulting first had three close misses while Bailey, showing great technique, skimmed over on her third trial. With the bar at 4.10 (13-05.25) Silva, inexplicably merely ran through the pit thus eliminating any chance for the gold. Bailey had three good tries but couldn’t clear. “I WON!!! I had no idea I’d won,â€Â

Vaulting after sitting for two hours with no run-thrus usually doesn't work very well.

Speaking of Tommy, the NSSF site posted some interviews of him and Rick Baggett right after JR Nationals

BYU-bound Julene Bailey cleared 4.05m/13-3.50 to win gold in the women’s pole vault while the University of California-bound teammate Kira Kosta cleared 4.00m/13-1.50 to win bronze. The 18-year-old Bailey had one of the best overall performances in her career. “This is one of the most amazing feelings,â€Â

If all their MISSES were the same at the same heights, then it results in a tie. They tied for second.
