I am redshirting my indoor season this year with the goal of continuing to make technical improvements. And as much as I would love to go to reno, i just dont have the finances right now. So i was wondering what kind of meets people know about on the east coast. Right now the only one I know of is George Mason. Any suggestions?

How far are you willing to travel?

Kent State
West Virginia
Tennessee

Or maybe a drive up 81 to Bucknell! Your uncle is bringing his team to this one. Maybe you could go for the facility record 17'7.25", held by Jeremy Scott. Yes, it is baffeling to see someone 6'9" get inverted!

If your redshirting you should be able to follow your team to many of their meets. Most colligate meets, at least to my experince, are open mets with the exception of championship meets.
there are two meets i know of right now that will have quality jumping, Northeastern on Dec. 6 and Dartmouthg relays on Jan. 11. Dartmouth is a several day meet so i would check on the specific time of the vault.

And league meets, like an SEC 4-way. My school was "lucky" enough to host one of those last year :confused:

you know my uncle?? theres a suprise. seems like everyone knows my fam. But yeah, that would be cool to compete against him. 17'7 is a little out of my reach... but only for a few more weeks hopefully. im aiming that way.

and yeah, i could follow my team, but id like to experience some different meets. gotta have variety.

VTechVaulter,

If your last name is Mondschein, I used to train with your uncle and lived next door to him back in the late 70's and early 80's. Also used to spend quite a bit of time hanging out with Paul at the Skypole factory in Costa Mesa in the evenings.
