Congratulations on your AR 19'-9.75" Brad and Pat!

Your WR attempt 20'-1.5" looked good. It's only a matter of time!

2nd: Derek Miles 19'-0.25"
3rd: Tim Mack 18'-8.5"

NBC has the worst coverage of field events. They would rather cover 50 million false starts and try to create little stories about all the people who will probably be busted for drugs next year. I wasted so many hours of my life nodding through the endless marion jones/maurice green/gail devers/gatlin/regina jacobs chatter while they totally ignore the field events. It makes me want to puke.

right on about watching 400 false starts. I TiVo'd the meet and watched the jump probably 30 times!!! Awesome thing for the male and female VISA Championship Series to be lead by Pole Vaulters :yes:
