Nationals

Unread postby riskafall » Tue Feb 08, 2005 8:47 pm

For indoor nationals, my coach said that there was one in maryland and one in new york at the armory, but they are the same meet just held at two different locations. However, qualifying height for the one at the armory is 10' and for the one in maryland is 12' (for girls). I was just wondering why there is such a big difference? I'm confused, someone help please!

They are both called "Indoor Nationals" but they are run by two different organizations.

i don't know which one to go to because I like the armory a lot. I went to both last year because i was only about an 11' jumper. Because i jump 12'6 now I'm pretty sure i want to go to the maryland nationals.

Its a shame how they are held 3 days in a row (the armory one has a qualifying day, then the real day, then the maryland day) I heard it was because of an argument between the leaders of them, so they branched off.

Good luck choosing!
