Tech has a good hance of have 3 vaulters over 18' at one time Bobby has been over 18' before and Cornmeal, I mean cornfed, I meant Thornhill should jump it this year along with Sage. It would be pretty cool to see all three over at Texas Relays, good luck guys. Old man Hood had 3 over 18' at one time I hope The young Hodd can pull it off. Congrats Jared on the 5.45. :yes:

Here's a list of Coach Don D Hoods vaulters the last 7-8 years, with college and HS pr's (in parenthesis).

Me: 5.52 (5.10)
Bobby: 5.50 (5.40)
Thorny: 5.45 (4.88)
Shane Stewart: 5.40 (5.18)
Buster Mclain: 5.35 (4.65)
Sage Thames:5.30 (5.36)
Sammy Mumme: 5.20 (4.60)
Ken Wilson: 5.20 (I think....could be higher, don't know his HS PR)
John Cordes 5.20 (After Hood, also dont know his HS PR)
Brad Mayhew: 5.18 (Temple HS)
Jonathon Mumme 5.15 (4.70)
Mike Fowler 5.10 (4.00)
Seth Harris 5.0 (4.88)

All in all, pretty impressive resume. 10 over 5.18 is awesome. Way to go Beto, Thorny, and Sage.

My eligibility is up but I am still jumping I jumped 5.30 indoors on no training and made an attempt at 5.50. I have been jumping with Joe Dial every once in a while but not much. I hope to make it down to the lone star state for some meet. Keep up the good jumping and good luck at the relays. Maybe we all can jump 5.60 and make the trials. Not Hangin with the Captian much anymore. LOL I abandoned ship and I am getting hitched. :yes: LOL
