Congrats Sam and Morry! It has been a while since I heard anything about AVC, i think i remember Sam jumping 17 indoors, but did he get hurt or something? Either way congrats on the record and the championship!! You going to nike and juniors?

Thanks Brian and Scott! We've been making a transition to 4.90m poles and, with it raining here 19 of the last 21 days, it's been tough to find some good conditions to jump. Sam actually led a 1,2,3,4 sweep by our Lake Hamilton vaulters which helped us win the State Championships last night. We always look forward to NIKE Outdoors Scott. I enjoy the drive through the Smokey Mountains almost as much as the meet itself. Maybe we'll see you there. Bring a tailwind with you if you show up!

The weather has made an impact on the meets in Oklahoma as well. Frday at our state meet the wind was gusting sometimes 40-45 mph. They were trying to hold the crossbar with poles but many jumps the bar blew off. If it was not raining it was cold or windy this spring. Maybe we can get some weather in June. Congrats to Sam. 4.90 to 5.00 meter poles the adjustment is pretty smooth when he gets there. We will see the AVC at Nike. We are flying , the drive was a killer last year.
