USA's, Who you betting on

Unread postby VaultNinja » Wed Dec 17, 2003 3:46 pm

It seems as if there are so many talented vaulters in the US right now, but not one male really stands above the rest, it is spread pretty evenly over several vaulters. Dragila is still clearly the favorite for women (or is she?) but who do you think the top five men and women will be at the USA Indoor Champs. And I don't mean top five marks in the US, I mean at the meet during crunch time, who comes out on top.

You know what I mean. I know Jeremy definetally "stands" above the rest, but he also gets hurt more than the rest. Nice guy, just can't stay healthy. Is he your bet for the top five?

Hartwig - He was injured last year and still managed to clear 5.80 and make worlds. Since then, he's had knee surgery, has recovered greatly and has been having some great practices from what EB told me.
