Tommy Skipper
Hey, I was just wondering what happened to Tommy? It seems like he just disappeared. He had great potential, and if you guys have any ideas I would be thankful to know! Thanks

Re: Tommy Skipper
I saw him at NCAAs but didn't get a chance to talk to him, so maybe others have more current information. Last I heard he was retired, but there was a slight possibility of considering a return after he finished school. Maybe. My guess is that life will get in the way. But he is still young enough that anything is possible, no matter what he says now.
But I wouldn't hold my breath for a comeback, as much as many of us would enjoy that.

Re: Tommy Skipper
We would love to see this guy come back. He was one of the most exciting and powerful vaulters to watch. Good for him to want to finish
school but I do believe that if he made a comeback he could jump up into the top 3 vaulters quickly. He is not very old, maybe 25 or 26.
