That's ok. I will just follow Ken Stone's live blog. It's not like they're going to show much pole vaulting on TV.

They showed Dragila and O'Hara vault at 14'5"1/4 and then a while later they showed toby clearing 18'2" HUGE and also Walker attempting 19'2" and missing, and also Hysone clearing ummmm.... 18'9" maybe somewhere in that range sorry. After this they showed the girls one more time. Dragila at 14'9", Jillian Shwartz at 147" I believe and one more but I can't remember who it was.

So I am going to go out on a limb here and say the pole vaulter had decent coverage at this meet. They are just trying to make up for NCAA's.
