Nick Weber the other day went over 15' first time this year at our annual practice meet. After his collar bone injury a few months back he has been working hard to get his jump back, had great clearance over the bar and almost had 15'3 but came down on it. He's on a 14' 155 UCS Spirit holding at 13'7. He has probably the best speed I've seen a high schooler have on the runway with a very low grip. He's a very nice kid and a very hard worker. To bad the jump won't count for UIL but hopefully that's a sign of what we'll be seing from this sophmore. I'll put up the video soon of his jump.

The Uhle brothers from Ohio are at 13'6" and 14' both have potential to be 15 footers by the end of this year. They're freshman and it's their first year vaulting. Oh, and they're twins if you didn't catch on.
PR: 17'9.25" 5.42m at a real meet but it was thrown out.
Officially: 5.37m 17' 7.25"

Mike Woepse went 16-2 today, and mind you he's only a sophomore. One good attempt at 16-7 for a new California sophomore record. He did it today at the Huntington Beach Surf City Invite.
PR- 15-1
Great season, time to top it
