no. he is at U of Georgia. very fast, technically very good. hes got 18feet in him for sure. only real weakness is consistency

I agree with Vtech vaulter, Ray Scotten clears 18 this year. Even if he doesn't, he is alway going to be my favorite vaulter after his performance at NC's this year. Count me as a Ray Fan

That brings up the question, where did Scotten end up transferring to? I believe it was between Nebraska and Tennessee.

What about kevin Opalka he jumped 17'6 in january last year and took a shot at 18. He was jumping really well indoors but kinda fell off outdoors (maybe injury?) I think he is very capable of putting some 18 ft jumps together this year!

opalka hurt his ankle last year outdoors....thats that...really tough break for him, but you can definitely count on him for some solid performances this year.

he jumped 5.45, right around 17'11 or so....Trainings been going good for him and Chris Chappel (17'10), so look out for both of them in reno!
