my state qualifier was my best meet all indoor, i PR'ed by a foot from 13 to 14. But then didnt have the right poles to move up to when i started crushing the 14' 155 pacer i was using (and eventually broke :-( ). Its really dumb how they determine who goes to states, however. You MUST make top 2 or 3 if you hit a qualifying hieght to go to states. For example, say the top 4 hieghts for a certain section are 15'6, 15'3, 15'0, and 14'9, and the quality standard is 13, only the first 3 can go, even if the 4th hieght would get him 4th in the state. I really wish they would make an automatic height that gets you in if you hit it at any time during the year, because in section 4 this year, its looking like we will have four 15'0 jumpers, with me being #4, in the lower 15's, which would mean i could qualify for nationals in SC but not states in NY, lol.
