What if vaulter A had one miss at 10-6, vaulters B had one miss at 11-0, neither vaulter missed at 11-6 and both went out at 12-0?

Rochelle has an open meet tomorrow (June 16) at 9:00 am with vaulting for all age groups. Google Rochelle Track club for more info.

Due to (heat) weather issues and other last-minute cancellations, a Monday evening pole vault competition here at Oregon (IL) high school turned out to be an in-house affair. At first it seemed disappointing that competitors from other towns wouldn't be joining us, but we ended up having a blast com...

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.

Webcast coverage was very, very disappointing.

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

tincup,
I'm kind of envious of you guys in 2A. Lately, it's been much easier to grab a state placing there than in 1A.
Maybe we can petition for Oregon to move up a class.

Numerous times, I have discussed this very issue with Illinois HS pole vaulting coaches and officials in the know and the consensus has always been that the official must make a judgement call on whether or not the wind played a role in pushing the pole against the crossbar. Bottom line - if an effo...

To the original poster, As a former competitor, aficionado of the pole vaulting, T&F sports reporter for a newspaper and a volunteer high school vault coach, I certainly share your passion for our event. As I see it though, the greatest satisfaction one gets is by being a humble servant to those...

This kills me to take a pass. I know Jeff Watry runs a class event, I have been meaning to travel to Washington to see family members, I haven't done a decathlon for a couple years, I like the prospect of having all summer to train, but.....I can't get away from work at that time.
