Trosclair was finishing up school in Baton Rouge last year and was still vaulting.

Yoo Kim has bounced around a bit between Jonesboro and LA and last I heard he was living in LA. He broke his national record this past year in a meet at Bell Athletics.

I know one of the Gensics is a coach at USAFA and one is in the Air Force's World Class Athlete Program. Another one trains with me.

Most has been resting since Regionals last spring - mental and physical break. He's moving to San Marcos to begin training in November.

Russell had to have surgery on both of his ankles...but as far as I know he is planning on continuing to train when he gets healthy...He is still training under Dennis Mitchell at the University of Akron. He is also getting married in December! Congrats Jonny

Poest is doing an internship at a church in Akron, Ohio and after the internship is over in May he is considering getting his masters in divinity and becoming a pastor, but he is still trying to figure that out. He jumped in one meet last year and went 16' without training for a year.
