Congratulations to Bubba and Tom!

Nice going, Doug and Tom!

This should round out the Pole Vault competitions...

Thanks everyone. It was a tough comp with the crappy winds but it helped that Tom and I jumped together in the same group. I've known him for years and we really worked well together on the field. He was a big help to me and I tried to be for him. He looked AWESOME on borrowed poles. Bubba

Outstanding!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everybody,

Once again congrats to Bubba on the gold medal! Also congrats to Tom who did very well considering we didn't have the ideal poles for him here in Sydney!

Here are some pictures from Sydney:

I'm off to the airport but I wanted to also thank Andrew. What a great guy. So nice to meet a fellow PVPr more than half way around the world. Thanks again Andrew for all of your help before, during and after the meet!! Bubba

Hey Bubba and Tom,

Way - to- go!! The GOLD Well worth all that time healing, and the training after, for both of you.
Bubba-- I've been following your blog-- great insight- both mentally and physically to approaching a major event like this.
I'll try to apply some of that as I get ready for Kamloops next year.

Howard

Thanks guys.

Bubba, it was a pleasure! Have a safe trip back home!

-Andrew

Bubba, congratulations, we're all really proud of you

I am quite pleased that my site was used to bring people together from all around the world to meetup like that. That is why I started it
