[quote]With cross country over and the weather slipping south of freezing, life in the Northeast turns to indoor track. This time of year, as words like snow, sleet and wintry mix become commonplace in the weatherman’s vocabulary, teams have to scramble for practice space in school facilities that are many times already stretched to their limits with other activities. When the weather turns sour, distance runners can set out on the roads, hurdlers and sprinters can work out in the school hallways, throwers can hit the weights or throw in a corner of the gym, while the high jumpers grab an opposite corner for a few reps over the bar, but what can the pole vaulters do to get real work in?

Most pole vaulters only have a chance to get on a runway at meets, which have to be used as both practice and competition. But for 90 lucky New York metropolitan-area high school vaulters (both male and female), all members of the Hudson Valley Flying Circus, there’s a chance to log time on the full runway on a regular basis thanks to the warm confines of “The Barn.â€Â

Good guys, both of them. I wish "The Barn" and their club had been around when I was in high school.

this is probably my favorite place ever. St. and Cauthers are the best coaches.

The Barn hosted a "Day of Vaulting" on Friday which consisted of a Symposium and Safety clinic for coaches, vaulters, parents and anyone interested in the vault .

In the afternoon, they held two small vault competitions, one boys and one girls. I've never been to the barn to see any practice or vaulting, so that was pretty cool. All kinds of neat drill tools.

Jenn and Coach Shur were at the Symposium and spoke to the audience. That was real interesting.
After the two high school level vaults were finished, there was another "open" vault. I was not able to stay but I'm pretty sure Jenn made a few jumps for the crowd during that event. She and Rick are delightful to talk with.
