This meet should be awesome to watch! I just hope they show a good amount of pole vaulting -- which probably won't happen :( .

I doubt we'll see much. The results were really weak this year.

I am watching now. I feel like I am getting dumber as I listen to them make comments about the ponytails of the 1500 meter women :dazed:

Its a shame they done televise a strictly pole vault meet.
With some good commentators and exciting vaulters I bet you could get quite a few people to watch

If you blinked during the broadcast you would have missed it.

The pole vault results weren't very impressive (no offense to anyone who competed), I am not surprised they didn't show more.

It would have been cool if they had showed any of Tommy's jumps, they probably could have mentioned how young he is and gotten a little interest.
