We Won!!! 65 points!... we can beat that next year... when i am able to do more events... and who knows maybe we will have more jumpers there!

Yea! Pretty funny when a pole vault club wins the meet! We are supposed to get like $75 for the women's win and $25 I think for the men's second place. How cool!

thats sweet!... who would have thought... and just think last year if i was under skyjumpers instead of what ever they put me under then we might have won then as well!... that meet is a fun meet!

Is there an equivalent meet for outdoor?

well there are the USATF Junior Olympics in june... but after the association there are regionals and nationals... but you have to qualify for them

ok

Hey bill, the junior Olympics require a usatf number, which you probably know, but i heard the usatf guys talking about how nobody shows up for the junior Olympics so, lets change that!

i have been going since 6th grade... and they are super fun... but the same time as camp!

alright spike. sounds like a plan
