River Rat Vault

We are having a pole vault competition in Dixon, il on June 25th for all those interested PM me and I can send you a registration form. Hopefully the goal is for this to be an annual event. It is right in the rock river and if not for this year, I plan on having a raised runway right along the river. For some reason it wouldn't let me post the registration form as an attachment sorry.

Hey Kyle,
I'll be there. I'm looking forward to this competition. I appreciate you promoting the vault in your area. Great work and we'll see you there.

By the way, next week for the poles is great. You know where to find me. :^)

Kyle,
Could you list more details - time, entry fee, etc.
Maybe we can bring down a few kids from Oregon.

bringing 5-6 kids down for this, sounds like a good time.

Hope to make it with some vaulters.

Great job.

Hello! my name is Haley and I am a vaulter from O'Fallon, Il.
I was wondering if I could still participate in this competition.
If so, is there any way you could send the form to me??
please and thank you!

Any results to post?

Also, I heard you may try to incorporate the event into Dixon's Petunia Festival next year and have the vault away from the high school. Sounds like a good plan.

Yes if it all works out and the city will let us, we will be doing a street vault on the riverwalk in downtown Dixon.

Results

High School Girls
1st place - Laura Fredenhagen - 10'6"
2nd place - Liz Greenwalt - 9'6"
3rd Place - Morgan Mahnesmith - 9'6"

High School Boys
1st place - Abraham Mulberry - 11'6"
2nd place - Gordon Rey - 11'6"
3rd Place - Carl BA-AD - 11'0"

Open Men
1st Place -Steven Andriss - 14'0"
2nd place - Kyle Stumpenhorst - 13'6"
3rd place - Adam Baze - 12' 6"

I didn't plan on jumping today, but I am sure glad I did. Makes me want to get some poles that I can actually jump on and be successful. Now if I could only find the time to train a couple days a week I would be happy. Are you going up to Winnebago's vault festival next Saturday?

We had a great time, even though my back is on fire from fiber-heading and being greatly out of shape.
