intrasquad meet

Due to (heat) weather issues and other last-minute cancellations, a Monday evening pole vault competition here at Oregon (IL) high school turned out to be an in-house affair.
At first it seemed disappointing that competitors from other towns wouldn't be joining us, but we ended up having a blast competing among ourselves. We had a good mix of five high schoolers, two college-age and one masters. Six guys and two girls.
A couple parents ran the standards and it was more like a party atmosphere.
Indeed, is was hot and humid, but in a pleasant summery way, with nary a complaint on the weather. Even though we didn't have the outside competition, everyone reveled in vaulting against one another and we saw three PRs that night.
It was the first time we have done anything like this and I think we'll specifically have another hometown vaulting contest next summer, as well.
This year's winner was 2009 OHS grad Ethan Gale, who bested masters vaulter Dave Gilbert 13-6 to 13-0. Top girl was Krista Greene at 10-6.
