Tray Oates' 16-0 is Tops at The Purple Hurricane PV Meet

[PV-ATL]

The 2012 edition of the Purple Hurricane PV Meet in Fitzgerald, GA was a rousing success. More jumpers than ever participted in this great event.

The high-light of the boys meet was in the Boys HS Meet with the 16-0 clearance for Tray Oates of Alatoona HS. This is a big PR and HS meet record. The Girl's HS winner was Katie Utley with a near PR of 11-0.

The best competition was in the Boy's 9th Grade division. Three jumpers cleared 11-0, with Luke Barston coming out on top. As was expected the 8th Grade Girls meet was contested by the two best MS Girls pole vaulters in Georgia history. State Record holder Carson Dingler pushed back Becky Arbiv with a 10-6 clearance.

Over all it was a great meet! Thanks to Charlie Polhamus for being the best PV meet director, ever!
