hey

maybe i should have said ALL the events...

and yes it's not 1988... and yes nothing has changed, unfortunately.. recession or no...

if your going to cover it.. COVER it or not at all...

let someone go sit with a camera and give youtube access to the whole meet to everyone, even if it's after the meet and remove all excusses..

Clearly different level of competition for U.S. women. Four women over the IAAF "A" qualifier. No men have achieved it. (5.72) I suspect Hollis,Walker, Miles and Scott will along the way?

Thanks to ChappellVideos (I am assuming this is Steve Chappell) for sharing his front row seat and uploading all the great videos.

Brad Walker warm up jump: any idea of what the bungee was at? He took off at about 13'9...awesome vault. He may have NH'd but I'd say he is looking great. Anyone know when/where he will be jumping next?

Mark Hollis winning jump @ 5.60. Looks like he could have cleared a higher bar with this jump. Congrats to Mark and ADTF Academy

The bungee was at 5.50m and 5.70m during the warm up. Brad is jumping at the UW Last Chance Qualifier in Seattle, WA.
