I was the official and I am very proud to say that I got it DONE before the last race was over
We have had problems in the past with not getting it done, and the facilities guy turning the lights out on us!
Anyway we went 9" at a time and did a split bar. We had a special low opening height of 6-3 (well 6-2 3/4 technically) because we had so many beginners. Then it went to 7-0/11-0, 7-9/11-9, and so on... up to 11-6/15-6, which McKane cleared. He took 2 good tries at 16-8 before calling it a night.
We started at 6:15pm (would have been sooner, but a bunch of people arrived at the last minute and I had to sign them in), and I am not sure what time I finished, but I think it was by 9:30. Oh yeah and technically I did all that on drugs... I had my stomach looked at that morning, and they gave me drugs that put me to sleep, and I was not allowed to drive or sign legal documents... but Bill Roe said I could be the official anyway
And mad props to Vinh (nzsprinter). It was his last meet before he heads back to New Zealand on Monday. He has not been able to practice much this year (since he is a SPRINTER and not a VAULTER
) but he still got a new PR - 4.04m (13-3)
Nice job!
