We have known Coach Robbie for over 35 years and he was awesome. My hubbie was on that 1970 national championship team ( a long time ago...track and the NCAA has changed alot since then) A great example and a man of honor and he loved the polevault !. Thanks for posting this announcement

We also know Alan very well and I have posted about this book on other threads... I cant say enough good things about it. I am just the Mom., watching supporting track for more then 32 years. My kids are vaulters and now are moving into coaching the event And I am finally figuring this thing out !. ...

interesting rankings. Trent is jumping very well... Robbie is stil inconsistent. It looks like it will be a good match up come NCAA's. Great group of young men. 8. Andrew Levin, Montana ( decath ) I have known Andrew since high school. We have taken him on so many trips.He is awesome. He is so dedic...

if you want the book "beginner to Bubka " BY Alan Launder. I have a whole box full that we brought back from Adelaide in March... email me.

oh and it was a sweet jump. Technically right on and he just flew over the bar. He then went to 18"4 to go for the BYU record but the wind had come up by then... Trent is also a mean car mechanic !
