after googling john nance, i think it is him


...maybe Brad Parris? D3 guy from McMurry from around 2000...? I know they are said to have good facilities, and a great pole selesction (some of the guys at La Crosse were going to borrow poles from them at one point...or at least they were talking about it..)


It would be sweet if it was... a little more D3 action to go with Grande... :yes:


...and what is Dennis Kholev up these days?


he said he was a Division I vaulter in his blog...

Much to my dismay, It is not Jacob Davis.....I had my buddy get ahold of him and it is certainly not him. I don't know of any greats that would cause "shock waves" that have been listed here, so I am beginning to doubt the credibility of all this.

Randy was around 18'5" at Purdue and J.J. (not related) was over 18' at both Texas and later Angelo State.

Has anyone else noticed that no one that fits the bill missed 5.50m this weekend?

Is this one big April fools joke?
