Part 2 of our PreviewPalooza brings us the NCAA Division II Indoor
Championships once again taking place just down the pike from me in
Roxbury, Massachusetts at the wonderful Reggie Lewis Track. I've
spent more than enough time in there this winter as most of our high
school meets took place there not to mention the Boston Indoor Games
and the USATF indoor champs. One word of warning for all those who
will be sitting inthe stands - BRING PILLOWS! The stands are some of
the most PAINFUL ones I have ever sat on. I'm not the only one who
has whined about this either. You sit on those benches all day and
the next morning you'll be in serious pain...

Great facility. Awesome track. Horrible seats.

Ah well. Enough crying and no I don't need any cheese with my whine...

This year it looks as if I'm not gonna be able to see the action as
I'll probably be following our long jumper Kara Dickman down to NYC
for the National Scholastic Meet. Ah well - that breaks my 3 year
streak.

ANyway Friday afternoon we have the men's final at 5:15 pm and the
next day the women get their chance to shine at 1:15 pm

3.45 (11-03.75) - 3.55 (11-07.75) - 3.65 (11-11.75)

Meet Record : 3.75m (12-3.5) 2002 Meredith Garner Abilene Christian
+ 3 Others

Official Startlist

1 Shelley Borchert SR No. Dak. St. 3.53m 11-07.00
2 Val Gorter SO Abilene Chr. 3.71m 12-02.00
3 Jenny Simmons SR NW Missouri 3.65m 11-11.75

11 Jennie Nemeth SO Pittsburg St 3.62m 11-10.50
12 Jessica Roehrick JR No. Dak. St. 3.63m 11-11.00

Nobody came close to making the automatic qualifier of 3.97m 13'00.25"
but 30 made the provisional of 3.36m 11'00.25". Out of those 30 they
took 12 making the cut at 3.53m 11'07.00" up a few centimeters from
last year.

The field includes repeaters Katie Eckley (3rd indoor, 3rd outdoor
in 2002), Kimberly Hilton (4th in), Marci Miller (4th in, 16th out),
Allyson Studer (7th out), Jamie Davis (11th in), Shelley Borchert
(8th in), Jenny Simmons (9th in, 14th out) and Jessica Roehrick
(11th out). Got some new faces but suprisingly no freshmen and only
2 seniors. Weird...

Here were the unlucky ones who didn't make the cut...

but Val and teammate Katie Eckley are picking right up where they
left off.

VaultnGus sez :

Not a bad way to end her regular season with two stright PR's and
a conference championship. Ranked #6 but could sneak up higher

with a HUGE PR and a NSIC crown.

03/01 3.58 11'09.00" 2 NCC Championships Vermillion SD

VaultnGus sez :

Amanda's had asuper season topping the 12' mark 3 times and scaring
it about a half dozen more. 6 wins to her credit as well. She barely
beat the Abilene girls for the #1 seed. Not bad for someone who didn't
even make the field last year. Can she jump away from the Minnesota/
South Dakota region?

03/01 3.47 11'04.50" 4 NCC Championships Vermillion SD

VaultnGus sez :

Scary to think that for most of the gals in the field that heading
to Minneapolis would be "Goin' far east". Kim's been all around her
PR all season and looks to be ready to crash into the 12' range.
Snagged a 4th last year with a near PR performance...

03/01 3.58 11'09.00" 3 NCC Championships Vermillion SD

VaultnGus sez :

Ties for 4th with Kimberly Hilton last year. Then went out and got a
12 footer in the spring. She's come close to that mark a few times
this winter. Snared 3rd at the tough NCC Championships - that field
produced 6 of the 12 entrants here...

03/08 3.61 11'10.00" 7 Washington Last Chance Seattle WA

VaultnGus sez :

Allyson has had a limited indoor season but quite a nice one - 75%
of the time clearing at least 3.60 11'09.75" and a month ago coming
within a centimeter of her PR. Should make the medal stand...

03/01 3.47 11'04.50" 7 NCC Championships Vermillion SD

VaultnGus sez :

She's been to Beantown before but she'll need another PR to get
on the medal stand. That 3.58 11'09" a few weeks ago is a big
step in the right direction...

VaultnGus sez :

Katie's had a slow start to her brief season but it looks as if she's
starting to get her motor revved up. She's got the highest PR of the
field and has two NCAA 3rd's from last year that I bet she's lookign
to upgrade.

Jennie's last three meets have produced the three highest marks
of her career. Keep it up and perhaps you'll sneak into the top
6...

VaultnGus sez :

Shocked quite a few folks by winning the NCC Championships 3 weeks
ago over other entrants Amanda Frame (#1 seed), Jamie Davis (#9),
Marci Miller (#10), Shelley Borchert (#11) & Kimberly Hilton (#12)
who at the time were all ranked ahead of her on the DII list.
Jessica settles in here at #7 within striking distance of the
leaders. She'll need to launch another bomb this Saturday...

3 fellas punches their ticket early by nailing the automatic qualifier
of 5.10m 16'08.75". The others had to sweat out the brutal Division
II selection process having only gotten the provisional mark of 4.70m
15'05.00". Once again only 12 made the cut and they all had to make at
least 16' to get in (4.90m 16'00.75" was the cutoff) up almost 3
inches from last year.

Several foks are making a repeat trip to the big dance including last
year's indoor and outdoor champ from Lewis, Duane Chappel, Seth
Isringhausen (2nd indoor, 5th outdoor in 2002), Mark Zilch (5th in,
8th out), Andrew Petersen (7th in), J.R. Skola (11th out), Tony
Milhon (13th out), Nick Wilpula (NH in), Chad Burks (NH out) and Sam

VaultnGus sez :

Huge favorite to win here as he has the last two years in a row.
He's got the top 4 marks in DII this year and all of 'em were 17'+.
Lowest mark would still put him at #4. Only when dogs fly, Hinkin
benches 450 and VaultnGus finally gets a date will this guy lose...

best at the MIAA conference championships. Funny - the startlist
lists his seasonal best at 16'04.00" but I've rechecked all his
marks and 16'02.75" is the best he's got. Somethins scwewy heah...

Man that's a lotta meets for Andrew this season - the NCAA's will
be lucky number 13. Out of those 13 meets tho' Andrew's only
topped 16' once and has been lower than 15'06" 9 times. Will need
some luck to make the medal stand.

NCAA DIII Preview should be hot on the heels of this issue. I'll
also make sure to get out the startlists for the 2 scholastic
championship meets tonight as well. Also gotta get going on the
Worlds preview ish but I don't think they've announced the fields
just yet...

Whatta weekend - 6 major meets - so many vaults, so little time...
