The list contains 25 vaulters. Today’s preliminary competition will continue until a qualification standard of 4.80 (15-9) or at least 12 best qualified has been reached. I count 11 vaulters in the field who have a seed mark of 4.80 or better.

Scott Duckworth (4.80) and Mitch Greely (4.77) are representing USA.

The women’s start list is not yet available for their competition which is to begin tomorrow.. However it is known that Lisa Ryshich of Germany will be competing who recently set a world’s best mark for 14 year olds at 4.10 which is 13-5.25!

hey, They cancelled the womens prelims today, so they all adavanced to to the finals. Yesterday I jumped 4.70m to qualify..they went to 4.80m but they shut it down before I could jump because we had alredy qualified. There are several vaulters, one that has gone 5.22m that had his poles declared Illegal... . This trip is awesome, The practice facilities and the stadium are the best I ever vaulted at. later, from canada
