Virginia's Vaulting

Unread postby VAVAULTER » Thu Jan 27, 2005 2:14 pm

How about them Great Bridge Boys in Virginia Beach, VA. The Coach jumped for Tennessee and cleared 18-4(i believe) to become an all-American and now for the past 3 to 4 years he has had atleast 2 kids over 15 and now at the Reno summit his junior Michael Morrison jumped 16-2 and his senior Daniel Magness jumped 15-6 (i believe not sure about that one).
Not to mention they have Brian Hunters Little Brother there, Brian hunter Won NCAA's a couple years ago. His younger brother jumps 14-6 i believe.

Any other high schools out there have a program like this or Know of one like this.

Magness jumped 15'6 to win states as a sophomore and a junior. Dominic Hunter graduated last year, I think he went to syracuse, last I heard anyway. Morrison was the Usatf and aau national champ in the decathlon for his age group last year (15-16 i believe). I think their coaches' name is Rich Fulfer, don't quote me on the spelling. It's been years since a team other than great bridge has one the state championship in the pole vault since 2001 I think. Also, LoJo went to great bridge.

I don't know who coaches this school, but there are two kids from Granite Bay High school in Ca that went over 16 last year right? Were they both sophomores?

i think i remember seeing them at a meet last yr. i forget wat it was called but it was in white plains ny. it was sweet cause my coach put me in the meet cause i was doing well but i got injured in a fight so i couldnt get to jump.. but ya after everyone was like done, then they all came in haha.. it was funny. i think one of their kids tried for the meet record but came short.
