The guys who run this meet are really awesome. I haven't made it up there yet, but I've seen the DVD and it looks so much fun. They have the coolest t-shirts ever!


My name is Dave Emeott from Kentwood Michigan. I am the pole vault and Head coach at East Kentwood High School. Each Year my Partner Kevin Patterson and I run a Beach Vault competition on the shores of lake michigan. This is our 4th year running this competition, last year we had 155 competitors over 2 days on 2 sewperate runways. We have had the honor of hosting athletes such as Christi Lehman(nebraska), Mark Zilch(lewis) and many local jumpers like Breanna Eveland(K-State) Brad Teeple(nebraska). Breanna is origignally from my school and Brad is from a city just south of here.

This year we are offering prize money for the first time. $500 to the winner and $250,$125 for 2nd and third. We are trying to get the word out to more pro's that may be looking for a good meet. We are also the midwest qualifier for the USPVA for a free trip to Clovis for the top male. We may also be able to supply elite men and women with a room. We have already been contacted by Justin Norberg and he plans to attend.

please pass this info on to any contacts you may have. If you have any other questions about the event please contact me.
