QUOTES

Jillian Schwartz - womens pole vault winnner

It was a pretty good day. I tried out a new run so it worked out pretty well. I jumped on Friday in practice and decided to take out the skip and it went well in practice. It worked well here. It was pretty consistent. It's a really good track.

Tommy Skipper - men's pole vault winner

I feel good. Today my coach and I were working on a few things.

There's a few things we didn't do, that we will do in my next meet.

Overall, today was about a "B" day. I think it is something to work off of. I'm just really happy I'm healthy.
