This meet should be awesome to watch! I just hope they show a good amount of pole vaulting -- which probably won't happen

I doubt we'll see much. The results were really weak this year.
I am watching now. I feel like I am getting dumber as I listen to them make comments about the ponytails of the 1500 meter women

Its a shame they done televise a strictly pole vault meet.
With some good commentators and exciting vaulters I bet you could get quite a few people to watch

They showed Brad sticking his tounge out at everyone

At a way to show what us pole vaulters are really like

If you blinked during the broadcast you would have missed it.
The pole vault results weren't very impressive (no offense to anyone who competed), I am not surprised they didn't show more.
It would have been cool if they had showed any of Tommy's jumps, they probably could have mentioned how young he is and gotten a little interest.

allthough the PV spot was pretty weak, i did get to see a buddy of mine run the quarter. which was cool.

they showed three vaults, i was bummed - but thank god for tivo, i fastforwarded through everything else.
what i dont understand is how much throwing they showed, no offence intended toward the throws, but isnt pv more fun to watch?
