Our 9th grader, Max Cosculleula jumped 12' 2" on a pole he has never seen (1360). He made it on the first jump and was the only vaulter to clear that height. He won his pit of 21 vaulters. Video at bottom.
Last night in a moving moment, 2004 Olympic Silver Medal winner Toby Stevenson called it a career. He told the crowd that his dad told him to never give up but that he had made up his mind that he wanted to retire in Reno on a make. So he cleared the bar on his first jump, took off his shoes and trademark helmet, laid them on the pit and walked away to the huge roar of the crowd. He was choked up saying goodbye to the event he has done so much for. But like all vaulters, he will be around. His best was 6m (19' 8 1/4").
Last night we got a photo of me, Wolfie and Pat Manson (22 years over 18') but it came out blurry. Working on converting a video - above. Today Pat tries to get 23 years over 18'. Have a great day! Bubba
