I'll try to help a bit for CA:

Charlie Nichols is going to California State University, Sacramento (Sac State)...he will keep on vaulting

Amanda Louie is going to UC Davis...pretty sure that she's still vaulting

Stephanie Bagan I think is going to SDSU (not exactly sure, sorry) and I think that she will still be vaulting (can't see why not with thirteen feet)

Dane Fox - Indiana University

From the Herald Times. May 8, 2006

Vaulting a family affair.
North pole vaulter Dane Fox follows in footsteps of father, grandfather.

It has become a Fox family tradition to plant a pole in the backyard about the time their sons turn 9.

Most places, especially in Indiana, that can bring to mind only one thing: a new basketball hoop is going up.

But in this case, the pole supports a human being looking to one day soar into the record books. It’s been that way for three generations of pole vaulting Foxes, the latest being Dane, a senior pole vaulter at North.

His father (and coach), Lance, was a standout at South and an All-American at Indiana. Lance’s father, Ted, won the state pole vault title for Bloomington High School in 1944, before going on to a long coaching career at Bedford.

That is a lot of experience to draw on when Dane is high-stepping down the runway. He set a Conference Indiana meet record last week with a personal best jump of 15-0, just two inches under his dad’s best high school effort.

“It’s a lot of pressure, living in his footsteps,â€Â

Both Katelyn Rodrigue and Josh Dominguez of La. are going to continue
vaulting at LSU. I believe Josh's PR is 5.02 ( 16-5 1/2) which is what is
listed as his seed mark on the USATF Junior's start list.
GOOD LUCK to all exiting high school sr. vaulters in their first yr. at the next level!!!

I overlooked another La. vaulter on the list, Paul Watson, he will also be attending LSU. I really feel bad for missing him cause I'm his coach :o
This gives Coach Boo a very good young group to work with!
