Becca--Some quality work with those video interviews...good job!

BTW, I must thank you for keeping me updated with pole vault results while I was trying to keep track of other events and announce upstairs (!) at the same time!

For those of you not familiar with the announcer's position at the UW, it's up there!


:yes:

They are looking into doing live internet updates like the European meets do.

Here's what the usatf.org website has to say about Brad & Steve:

http://usatf.org/news/view.aspx?duid=US ... 0_14_15_57

Ali vs. Frazier in men's pole vault

"Madison Square Garden was the site of two of the three epic battles between boxing greats Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, and a similar clash of the titans will take place Friday night at MSG when the world's two best pole vaulters square off. Australia's Steve Hooker eked out the world's number one ranking from Track & Field News last year over American reigning world indoor champion and 2006 Millrose runner-up Brad Walker. Hooker is off to a fast start this year with his win in Boston last week in a world's best clearance this indoor season of 5.81 meters/19-0.75. Walker also looked impressive with his win in Seattle on January 13, with his clearance of 5.70m/18-8.25. Other contenders in this event include reigning Millrose champ and American record holder Jeff Hartwig, 2004 Olympic silver medalist Toby Stevenson and reigning U.S. Outdoor champion Russ Buller."
