Men's shot put & pole vault loaded with talent
Men's field events will feature tremendous battles in numerous events, including the shot put and pole vault.
The men's pole vault will feature three of the world's top four vaulters from 2004, as Tim Mack looks to continue his successful ways after winning the Olympic gold medal in Athens and ending the season ranked #1 in the world. Mack will be challenged by 2004 Olympic silver medalist Toby Stevenson, who entered this season ranked #2 globally, and keep an eye on 2004 Olympic finalist Derek Miles, who ended last year ranked #4 in the world. Also look for talented newcomer Brad Walker, who posted a three inch personal best with his clearance of 5.90m/19-4.25 in winning the Nike Prefontaine Classic, the best performance by an American this outdoor season
2000 Olympic gold medalist and former world record holder Stacy Dragila has been battling injuries all year, but is slated to be in Carson to fight for her ninth USA Outdoor title. Contenders include Tracey O'Hara, whose personal best clearance of 4.60 meters/15-1 in winning the Payton Jordan U.S. Open is the second-best mark in the world this outdoor season. 2004 Olympic Trials runner-up Jillian Schwartz owns the sixth-best mark in the world this year (4.55m/14-11) and look for veterans Kellie Suttle and Mary Sauer to challenge for a spot on this year's world outdoor team.

I'm not going to guess who will get what place, but I think Norberg will clear 5.75m again, & have some good attempts at 5.80m. Brad Walker will jump either 5.85m or 5.90m again depending on the weather conditions. I think Toby will once again go for that magic 6.04m mark but will tap it with his elbow and it will fall off. I will guess the top three:
1. Brad Walker
2. Toby Stevenson
3. Justin Norberg (on fewer misses)
