Should be a pretty good meet at the New Balance Indoor Nationals with 3 guys who are entered already having cleared over 17'. Seems like Pat Manson's HS Indoor record is in serious jeopardy!

This has to be one of the best groups that has came through in a while.

Maybe as good as these guys

With Irwin, both Uhle's, Yamoah, and Duplantis all going to be there, all 5 of those guys are capable of going 17'.

Here was another solid group.

      Pole vault:  Always one of the top events at NIN, this year’s field would draw praise even from American Idol’s Simon Cowell.  Two of last year’s top finishers are back – Hunter Hall (Homestead, Fort Wayne, IN) and Spencer McCorkel (Bryant, AR).  Hall, fourth at the 2006 NIN with a PR 16-8, returns with a season best of 16-6.  Hall is a Virginia Tech signee whose father, Randy Hall, won NCAA indoor and outdoor vault titles in 1980 for Texas A&M.  McCorkel, fifth here a year ago, had a career best of 17-3.5 in 2006.  The Arkansas recruit is the No. 2 prep this season with a 17-0.75 clearance.    
      Casey Roche (St. Francis, Mountain View, CA) and Maston Wallace (Clear Brook, Friendswood, TX) come here with excellent credentials.  The Stanford-bound Roche doesn’t compete indoors that much.  But his outdoor 17-5 mark last year – the No. 2 prep mark – makes him a top contender.  Roche’s uncle, Mike Roche, was a steeplechaser on the 1976 Olympic team.  Wallace is the year’s top high school performer with a 17-3.75 vault.  He’s headed for Texas this fall.  Another vaulter from Lone Star territory, Joseph Farley (Aledo, TX), has a 16-6 clearance in 2006.  Farley’s earmarked for Baylor.

This year's group would be even stronger if JJ Juilfs from Sheldon, OR was vaulting. He is not competing indoor this season, but will likely be a solid 17+ vaulter outdoors. Good to see lots of depth at the HS level.
Irwin is the easy pick to win indoors this season. He seems to be very consistent over 17+
Good luck to everyone, may you all PR!

Read where JJ had a stress fracture in his foot from football and hasn't
been able to jump. We are looking forward to him being in Seattle.
Anybody have an update on him.
