Many have asked if their will be prize money for the elite.
If you did not notice we shut the site down as a full blown meet and opened it back up as a learn by doing camp.
The reason was we were short on time getting our sponsors together for the meet and we felt a trial run on a much smaller schedule would be good to set us up for next year to handle over 500 people.

SO consider this a local mini meet for those in the surrounding states it will still be fum very informative and worth spending the weekend with us to improve your vaulting

Anybody know if they're doing this again this year?

Probably something every pole vaulter should do before they die...

We are in talks about hosting one now. Nothing solid yet, but it'd probably take place in early August.
