I'm certainly biased... but to add to B's post earlier about Tennessee History: UT Vaulters and Alumni 5 NCAA Champions 32 SEC Champions 28 All-American certificates 3 Olympic Trials Winners 2001 Goodwill Games Champion 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist 2000 Olympic Silver Medalist 1999 Indoor World Champi...

Arkansas? Rules? That WOULD be a new direction for the program.... haha

Personally, I think these "penalties" are a load of manure and here is why: In order to follow my logic we must establish these 2 facts: 1. NCAA rules are in place to keep things fair and must be followed by all universities. 2. The definition of cheating is " a violation of rules&quo...

No offense, but did you even read what I wrote?

I heard that rumor too. I don't know if it is true or not, but I do know that Haynie attended the SEC outdoor championship meet as a spectator this year and was hanging with the USC people. USC also signed a German vaulter named Marvin Reitze (orginally signed with OU until they cut their program) w...

Thanks buddy....I checked them out too... but check this out.... From http://www.utsports.com - "Berry enters the USA Junior Championships with the second-highest pole vault mark in the competition. The Horsham, Pa., native was named SEC Freshman Field Athlete of the Year following a seas...

Rumor has it that they awarded 12 All-America certificates in the men's vault and that the people tied for 10th all got one....Aside from V. Tech, anyone know who the other foreign guy is?

I heard that... but I also heard he was smokin' 5.50 in warm-ups....just a thought... I used to get a little anxious/nervous and I wasn't ever even considered as a contender for a title

Didn't Scott fail to make finals last year too? And I wonder if the pressure of being ranked #1 at his first NCAA meet got to Colwick?

Yall better watch out for my boy Joe Berry... he's been on a roll!

Go Vols!

Goodluck Chip! I haven't heard any of these rumors either but that was a very classy way to clear things up. I'm sad to hear that you will be retiring from the vault, but I admire the way you have handled your injury situation. You had a remarkable career and I enjoyed competing with you at the NCAA...

I don't mind that approach either. I'm a fan of starting a few bars lower with 20-30cm increases. Virginia Tech is usually very good at planning this type of meet indoors. However, you still may run into time constraints with the warm-up period and sometimes will still encounter extremely lengthy va...
