The defending champ doesn't get through. Interesting. In hindsight, he probably should've opened at 5.20 instead of 5.15. It's basically the same bar.

and a NH from the indoor runner up ben peterson, bad weather?

supposedly it was cold and raining.

Why don't they jump to completion at this meet? Kind of a waste. I'd be upset if I missed some school, traveled a couple of days for a meet, was jumping good and felt great, and had to stop after making 5.15 or 5.20. All the other events (except probably HJ) go to completion, and athletes can push for a PR or USA qualifying mark or whatever.

Doesn't make sense.

It is no longer a ''Regional". They are the East and West Preliminary Rounds. So technically if you qualify you are already at nationals. They did it so that there would be the same amount of people in every event on the east and west side mainly for the sprints where the east used to have to have more rounds because there were more athletes, and the coaches complained their athletes were at an unfair advantage when they got to nationals because they raced so much at regionals.

So in the vault it is just the prelims for the finals at nationals, so once enough people have qualified they stop the meet, just like they would in prelims at Olympic trials or the old NCAA Championship system. As a vaulter going for a PR it sucks, but in the same since that they do for the sprinters where the top runners do not have to go all out to move on to nationals, the top vaulters do not have to jump their highest and risk peaking too soon to move on to nationals.

We had bad weather at the East meet also. Got both the women and the men done. Only had to go 3 bars for each, and we did not have to have any tie breaker jump offs!

No other events go until completion. Check out the results.

At the end of the competition in every event except the PV and HJ you could list the order of finish. Example in the shot put everyone gets, I think, 3 attempts, and then top 16 maybe come back for 3 more attempts. When that is over while they don't announce places you, if you had the sheets, could list the competitors in rank order. OK my .02

In a since you are right, but a lot of those athletes only do enough to qualify, especially if they are doing multiple events (Runners). Pole vault and high jump are different because their jumps are not measured individually, you must clear a bar, and everyones bar is at the same height. When they start using lasers to measure vaulters center of mass, then they can be treated like all the other events.

But the point is, very few of the top athletes are trying to PR at regionals because they leave for nationals the next week. Some people have to PR to make it, but others can just skate through and be rested for the next week. This is the same since as one girl on our team runs under 52 in the 400 but the fastest she ran all weekend was 52.99, but she won every one of her heats.

Yeah what VaultPurple says... the running events at Regionals tend to be very tactical and the top athletes are focused on places, not times.
