That's Erica Hall in the picture. She jumped really well considering she has been hurt all fall and only jumped twice before this meet. She cleared 10-6 from 8 steps :yes:

I cleared 10-6 from 10 steps, and I'm pretty happy with that. :) It's a season best and it would be a provisional qualifier for my national meet... if I was eligible (I'm only a part-time student right now). Oh well, I'll just jump 11-0 in January and get the auto.

My teammates all did pretty well. They've only vaulted about 5 times before the meet and were on 6-10 steps. John got a provisional qualifier with his 15-0 jump.

Nope. I forgot the camera in Texas :(

My teammate was taking some, but I don't think she got any action shots.
