OK I am really frustrated...

This weekend there are meets at Georgia Tech and Clemson, two schools very close to here. I can't get into either one! Coach called and they say they are closed meets. I couldn't even jump in our home meet last weekend because it was an SEC 4-way meet

So if anybody has a meet for me to jump in between now and mid May let me know! My only meet I have scheduled for sure is a home meet May 3rd.

Call me, PM me, respond to this... whatever. I am open to suggestions!

Update: I am jumping at Albany State in Albany, GA this weekend

sorry i can't help you, but i kinda have the same question so i figure i'll post it here too.

I'm redshirting my outdoor season at University of Oregon this year and I'm looking for some meets to jump in around here too. Maybe at WOU, Clackamas, or Lane? If you guys know what meets are open for UNAT's anywhere in Oregon please post. Thanks.

Yeah you should have lots of options up in the NW... check the school website of every school you are willing to drive to. If they have a meet that fits your schedule give them a call and see if you can jump... I have found that if you mention that you are willing to pay a meet entry fee they are a bit more obliging

And hey you should come up to WA sometime this summer and jump in the Seattle International or one of our lovely beach vaults!

There is a meet at Samford in Birmingham the same week as penn relays I think it is like 3 weeks away. I think there is a meet at troy state this weekend or next. I dunno how far you wanna drive but from Athens, Birmingham is like 2.5 hours and troy will be like 4. Oh it was nice meeting you at the meet I wasn't very social I know but i no heighted so I was a little angry. We(Auburn) will have an open meet on May 4th I think it is a sunday. If I hear of more I'll post them here for ya.

Thanks! We have a home meet the 3rd, but I just might consider jumping in your meet on the 4th.

And that's OK if you weren't chatty... I understand

although a washington beach vault sounds fun....i'm still waiting for the one and only original beach vault in Santa Barbra to come back. Stupid Stacy had to go off and jump 2 world records there taking $150 K breaking the bank of the beach vault. thanks stacy . but if i can make the Pan Am junior team i'll need some big summer meets to jump in, so i'll keep it in mind.

You should think about the Seattle International. Last year it was really good. Matt Philips jumped 18'6" and I think Brad Walker and Dave Lemen both jumped 17'6". It is around mid-June.

From reading your post you are a student in athens but are from and therefore spend time out west---I do not know if you will be in athens this summer or not, but emory universtiy in atlanta (about an hour drive) has open meets in the summers and it is something like two dollars. Just a fun event not really competitive and it also has all levels competing.

You are correct... I go to UGA (I have to redshirt this year) but I am from Seattle. I will be home all summer... I can compete 2-3 times a week if I want there. I want meets now though It looks better if I PR during the season than at "some summer meet".

Webmaster Babe:

The USATF web site has links to the association web sites. Depending on the association, they can be gold mines of meet schedules.

I don't know how far you are willing to travel, but the Woody Wilson Relays at UC Davis is on the same Saturday as Mt Sac (April 19) and is a way better place to jump for the girls.

I am too poor to travel that far, and more importantly, I can't miss any more English classes (already missed 2 for indoor meets) and those are 9:05am Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

This summer is another story!

If you are willing to drive FSU has a couple of home meets this outdoor season check out fsusports.com i believe there is a meet next weekend there. April 11-12? I am also looking for meets to go to i am redshirting at UF right now.
