I will not be making the trip to Eugene this year, it's just too much travel by myself with the baby, especially with my beach vaults a week later. Hopefully FlashResults will do live updates!

Weird that they took someone at 5.42 when there were so many at 5.50+

uSATF Press Release:

Gill Men’s Pole Vault
American record holder Brad Walker will compete for the seventh U.S. vault title of his career and his first since a pelvis injury in 2009 kept him from competing in the World Championships. Walker’s competition will be tight with two-time Olympian Derek Miles, 2011 NCAA indoor and outdoor champion Scott Roth and 2009 U.S. indoor champion Jeremy Scott all tied atop the U.S. rankings at 5.72m/18-9.25.

I can't believe they didn't mention defending indoor and outdoor champion Mark Hollis...

What are your picks?

Is Mark Hollis sponsored by Nike now? Its on the startlist. If so, good for Mark!

Yes he is.

The men vault at noon today!

Webcast here: http://www.runnerspace.com/

Live makes and misses here: http://www.flashresults.com/2011_Meets/ ... gs25-1.htm

Progressions: 5.35-5.45-5.54-5.60-5.66-5.72-5cm

Jeremy Scott and Derek Miles are passing the first height, Brad Walker is passing the first two heights

We just saw Chris Little blow through on the webcast. Wind looks to be a tailwind based on the windsock, but Eugene is famous for swirly winds.

And my internet is not very compatible with the webcast so I'll probably miss the visual on most of the jumps

Jordan Scott also a blow through. No one has made it yet.

Roth has decent height over the bar but comes down on it.

Jason Colwick passes.

Mark Hollis makes easily, he is the first to clear.

Miss miss miss miss, so far everyone is missing but Hollis. I can hear the sound of vaulting on the video but they've been doing the GIll Coach of the Year presentation.
