This weekend’s meet saw a total of 40 vaulters; 26 in the first section and 14 in the second. All in all, a great meet once again. Things are getting exciting as we head towards the Championship meet on August 22nd at Bella Vista High School. See below for PRs, meet #4 results, current Championship standings and for information about the Championship meet. Keep in mind that we will be awarding division trophies and an overall trophy to the winners.
We kept everyone on their toes and changed things up once again. As with last week we ran the bar at odd start heights but instead of 3s and 9’s we did 4s and 10s this week. Again, the strategy paid off with 7 new PRs from 1 inch to, hold on to your hats, a 5 feet 6 inch PR. Yes, that’s right. Isaiah Holmes from Oakmont who in his own right is an awesome high jumper (7’0” at CVCs) decided to try pole vault. He entered the meet with no PR and ended up jumping 11’10”. He quipped, “I guess it’s just the high jump in me”. Great Job Isaiah, keep it up. Next year will be interesting to say the least. Join me in congratulating Bruce Vongnangam (1” PR to 10’10”), Adam O’Brien (3” PR to 11’4”), Rachel Randall (4” PR to 9’4”) Matt Beltran (4” PR to 12’4”), Quan Phun (7”PR to 12’10”) and Corey Saetern (7” PR to 12’10”). This week’s PR medal goes to Isaiah Holmes who cleared 11’10”; again a 5’6” PR (calculated as starting height minus final height).
