2013 Dave Gorman Memorial
Marina Vault
Saturday - June 22, 2013
The Lake Heritage Marina
1001 Heritage Drive, Lake Heritage, Gettysburg, PA
Contact: Steve Gorman 717-752-5824 sgorman55@gmail.com
A day of vaulting, music, swimming, food and friends organized as tribute to my brother who left this planet five years ago. Dave was an incredible athlete and person, a fellow vaulter and lover of music. We had the first Marina Vault 10 years ago and I continue to host this event in his memory. Food and drink will be available for sale all day by Gary’s Pig Roast and of course the ever popular “Lake Vaulting” (open to everyone) where you vault off of the dock into the lake.
POLE VAULT COMPETITION
The event will be run by Steve Gorman, Rob Wahl, pole vault coach at Altoona Area High School and the PA State Chairperson for the USA National Pole Vaulting Committee and Matt Concannon of “Vaultworx” pole vaulting club. The event will be officiated by Mike Lilly, a PIAA pole vault official.
Entry fee is $30 with on-site registration beginning at 7:30 AM and continuing all day. No one will be allowed to participate in the event without registering and signing the liability release form. If the participant is under the age of 18, the parent and/or legal guardian must sign the waiver. T-shirts will be for sale the day of the event.
Warm-ups begin as soon as you are registered. Competition begins at 9:00 AM . Starting height is 5’ 0” and the bar will progressively move upward. Boys and girls, men and women will jump together. There will be additional warm-up periods for vaulters not starting until higher heights.
Standard rules of competition will apply with one exception "The Gorman Buy-In Rule": after three consecutive misses you will be allowed a fourth attempt if you collect or donate a $5.00 re- jump fee. If you clear, you're back in! If you miss you can jump at the next height but you must collect or donate another $5.00 for each additional jump.
Our experience from past events is that height progressions move slowly due to the large number of vaulters and the additional “buy in” jumps. It will be late morning before the bar gets to 10’ and mid afternoon til we reach the 12’ range. Registration runs all day so time your arrival accordingly. There will be “open runway” at different intervals throughout the day for all competitors including the “elite vault” with a starting height of 13’ scheduled for 6:00 PM
BRING LAWN CHAIRS, SUN SCREEN, SWIM SUITS AND LOTS OF $5.00 BILLS
