I wonder what the conditions are like? These aren't very good marks for most of the athletes.

Junior Men's Pole Vault: Michael Morrison, Chesapeake, Winner (5.10m, 16-08.75)

On the competition:

"It was awesome. I came in expecting to jump well, and came out with the second best jump of my career."

On making it to Junior Worlds:

"I'm excited and looking forward to new experiences in international competition."

probably a dumb question, but what places make it to JR worlds?

top 2 (if they have met the world marks), or they will continue down the list to who has made the world qualifying mark.

Clemson pole vaulter qualifies for Pan Am Games

Clemson freshman Mitch Greeley finished second in the pole vault at the USA Junior Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Thursday in Carson, Calif.

Greeley’s vault of 16 feet, 8¾ inches in the final flight was good enough to earn him a spot on Team USA's roster for the Pan American Junior Championships, held July 28-31 in Windsor, Ontario.

Despite injury, Morrison has an impressive meet

Mike Morrison, a rising senior at Great Bridge, had goals of clearing 17-0 in the pole vault and scoring more than 7,000 points in the decathlon at the USA Junior Outdoor Track and Field Championships in California.

Even though he fell short, Morrison was impressive. He won the pole vault and placed third in the decathlon.
