Late-night meets

[Vault&Flip]

Okay, so tonight we had a meet where the girls pole vault started at 530pm with the guys pole vault not starting until about 8pm and lasting until about 10pm or so. So, this made me wonder what is the latest that any of you have vaulted at an INVITATIONAL.....I know there have been random dual meets or vaults later at night, but I was wondering about invitationals since the time schedules are often predetermined. It was also about 40 with a headwind, which is not good vault weather by any means.

sophmore year we started and invite at 9:30 in the morning and didn't end till midnight. We started to jump at 9PM and it ended at 11. Worse off i had the hurdles and the 4x1 and 4x2 before noon. Long Long day. But fun.

how did the meet take over 12 hours?!? geez!! and i thought our 6 hours meets were brutal!!

[CHC04Vault]

It was a college run invite, and i think their were over 100 teams, it was ridicolouslarge but run very very well. Also, they had alot of event that usually arn't indoors, like the DMR, SMR, 4xmile, 4x2 mile. Though it was long, it was really fun, and i wish they would continued that meet.

wow!! over 100 teams...that's pretty crazy but also sounds like a blast!

[CHC04Vault]

Yeah, it was, try having like 100 vaulters, it looked like something from Jan's camps, just poles everywhere.
