With Brad and Jimmie both clearing 5.30m+ from 5-6 lefts (don't want to say anymore :) ), you've got a solid bet on 2 5.50+ vaulters... 5.50m from Matt A. is a good bet also... I have a hard time seeing 15 SLC vaulters making regionals, but one can only hope. Anyone want to take the time to see how many made it last year? My guess is 8. This year - 10...
My vault PR? Probably 2.00 meters...

wow sounds like brad and jimmie are both doing about as well as jim davis was doing when he was here in michigan still for those couple of months. i remember that he jumped at 5.30 from like 5 lefts. and i think that he went on to jump 18'10'' that season so i am hopeing that brad will really step it up and jump that :P

These are my 5 picks:

Chip Heuser, Tommy Skipper, Jimmie Heath, Brad Gebauer, Mitch Greeley
The vaulters that are from across the pond might be back I don't know. These are the 5 that i am gonig to stick with. You do you think will jion the club. It is a great club to be in. If track were like football/baseball, I might make some money being a pro.

What about some nebraska boys. They produce at least one 18 footer...

Also, did the guy from UCLA graduate last year? He was a solid jumper as well I might add...
