If your not part of the circuit, can you still vault in it? I had to miss it last year due to moving in to college, but would love to go this year! Just wondering...

Yea, the meet is especially for everyone else. The circuit is just to try to bring in a few elite athletes to give everyone else in the meet something to watch and shoot for. The circuit is all about getting everyone involved in the sport. Indiana State fair is exactly what that is. Bryan and those guys have the honor of having the longest running streetvault in America, they have brought recognition of our sport longer than anyone I know. LON

an event (The opening heights are flexible except for the Elite Men). Watching is Free, Participating is $25,
this entry fee gets you into an awesome competition.

Directions to the state fair grounds in Indianapolis:
Take whatever major highway you need to get to Indy (if you can’t find Indianapolis

the closest to the site of the competition.

From I-69: Take state road 37 south (I-69 turns into 37), at the point where 37 and
38th street become the same road the entrance to the fairgrounds will be on your right.

From I-65: Take 30th street east, turn left (north) onto Meridian (also known as 31),
turn right (east) on 38th street (also known as 37), the entrance to the fairgrounds will
be on your right.

I'm thinking of going...What do you think opening heights will be?
Fight the good fight: It's nice to be great but it's far greater to be nice.
