Cabot JR, Lexi Weeks, set the Arkansas Overall highest female mark today with a first attempt clearance of 13'06.5". The old mark was held by Stephanie Foreman (13'06.25") set in 2008. Congratulations to Lexi!

We had several PR's literally flying around today! Check out the results at:http://www.arkansasvaultclub.org/#!usatf-aaipvc-results/cswl

It never ceases to amaze me the level of talent and achievement that Morry is producing year-after-year. A great example for every coach to strive for.
Congratulations!

Thanks for your kind words, Tom! We have a great group of kids right now. Not only are they good athletes, but they're good kids and I'm excited to see them excel!

Right I will PM you -but first is she usually off 12 steps -or is that an indoor thing -or was she running further -difficult to see. Then body weight, grip height and pole stiffness please - and I am sure I will not be telling you anything you are not already aware of!
