Hello. Is there any vaulting going on over the next few days in Houston? I am down here for a job interview and have some free time.

Ha. Thanks. I went by Rice today and watched from the baseball bleechers while reading. It was a good pracice from what I saw. I was there from 3-5. Was Harvard there or something? I saw a lot of athletes with their shirts on. My flight leaves Wednesday night though sadly or I would come watch or even vault...Keep up the good work.

Yes, Harvard was there, they are in town for ten days to train over their spring break and compete at a couple of meets including the Victor Lopez Bayou Classic on Sat; as they have done for a number of years now You where there for the Rice practice and the start of the Harvard practice.
