Actually good job, way to throw your feelings out there. I didnt want to be that guy, wasnt really sure if it was just me or not.

Why don't you tell us a little about yourself and your accomplishments as a vaulter/coach (you have nothing on your profile)?

Maybe that will give everyone a bit more insight about your expertise and add more credibility to your contraversial opinions.


went 14'6" 10th grade. big deal, right? my appendix blew and that was it for me. i just happen to be a big track fan and like the vault best of all. i watch track whenever its on (which we all know is almost never). im no expert and have never claimed to be. just a fan with my own thoughts which noone has to listen to. good enough?


so are you still in 10th grade? can i ask for more info?



o sure, phone # or social security #? ;)


all cuteness aside man...

you're losing respect here... this can go one of two ways...

1. you can answer the question

or

2. you can lose all credibility and be silent or crack another one of your dynamite jokes :yes:

Being a great vaulter does not necessarily make you a great coach. I have no idea if Stacy has any aptitude or interest in coaching, but it is unlikely that her retirement will enable her to help anyone else reach Olympic caliber by 2006.

The best thing Stacy can do for the sport is get healthy and kick some more butt! Competition helps everyone else get better.

Get well soon Stacy and I'll be cheering for you in 2008!! I know most of the rest of us will as well :D

This thead is done.
