Winds must have been bad. Four years ago 19'0 don't make the team and this year 18'6 does. Thanks for the updates Becca, first time since Indy in 88 that I didn't go. Congrats to the guys that made the team!

I think it's more a case of the top vaulters are getting old and few young guys are stepping it up in meets that count.

any word yet on the reason of Jordan Scott's scratch? Also, on Buller's pulling out?

Check out my Buller interview to hear how he is feeling. I just talked to Jordan Scott and he strained his hamstring.

How old is the team? Hartwig is over 40, Miles maybe mid 30's and Walker mid to late 20's would be my guess. Then you look at other finalists, Mack, Pauli, Stevenson, Buller, they aren't 22 either.
