Beach Vault!!!!! (MI)

[mcminkz05]

SO who all is going to the Grand Haven Beach Vault this weekend, and what division are you competeting in? Ill be there in the High School Elite division, should be fun !!

[krupat]

im going there also, 7 hour drive with a few buddies. im pretty sure im in the 17-18 yr. old category. i hope the weather is good for it. should be a darn fun roadtrip and hopefully get to see some kick but jumping.

I'll be there fri/sat. Vaulting sat in the HS elite as well. Big 9 step run and hopefully a tail wind = moving my grip up finally. PR time!

[SKOT]

i will be jumping in the college/eliete division. rumor has it that justin norberg will be there. he took 4th at USATF nationals this year and has a lifetime PR of 18'9". the people that run it said that there were 2 other 18'+ vaulters comming. im pretty sure one of them is Mark Zilch from Lewis University.

oh and ryansanta, do you know if laura borovsky, that crazy old churchill vaulter, is comming???

[skyshark177]

Yes Laura will be there.

anyone have the full paged map of the area? when i try to load it, only half comes up. this isnt going to be good if i cant get directions from my hotel.

Go to the Grand Haven Beach vault web site. Down at the botom left hand corner (if I remember right) is a city map listed. Click on this. It is the same map except the whole page, It doesn't have the circles and arrows though. I got on Expedia and called up the Grand Haven State Beach and I got the location there (also on expedia type in the name of the business that they list as across the street from vault site and let the computer tell you exactly where the location is. If there are any other problems personal mail me and I will try to scan what I have and e-mail it to you.

i couldnt exactly get the Expedia thingy to work, i dont know how to use it that good, but i found other maps and things from the hotel, plus the hotel said they have directions for us. So, hopefully i can find it easiy enough, but parking doesnt make sense to me either. it says take the shuttle or sumthing.? i dont know, if i get completely messed up, im gonna just end up calling coach Kevin Paterson. But thanks for the help, i cant wait!!!

Looks to me that if a person doesn't get there EARLY - you will have to park a long ways away and use the shuttle to get to the meet. this probably would be a pain in the "Butt" - As the coach said "BE EARLY - NO MATTER WHAT TIME YOU VAULT" Sounds as if we have been warned that traffic could be tough !!!!!!

[krupat]

yea, definatly sounds like that. and i have to gte used to te american speeds and signals and things like that, lol.

When they say get there early, they mean it. The GH city beach is right next to the Grand Haven state park beach. The state park beach is packed by noon. If you're not there by 10, forget about parking anywhere close to the beach vault. 10 is even a stretch...

Good Luck to all.

Anyone seen the start lists that were just emailed out..... some pretty big names on there (jeremy scott and the Bell kids...hmmm) Who's thinking some unexpected visitors may be stopping by???

[rainbowgirl28]

Post the start lists for us! I'm curious to see who all will be there.
