top vaulters this year

Unread postby bulldogvaulter » Thu Oct 09, 2008 6:12 pm

I know its kinda early to be talking about this years track season but i cant help it. So does anyone have any predictions on who will be the top vaulters at the high school level in IL. Last year there was some very good vaulters such as Mike Eller, Peter Geraghty, Mitchell Erickson, and Josh Winder. Cant forget about Cody Doerflein. Not only the guys, also there are some young women in IL that are getting pretty serious about the sport also. Any comments on this ?

I typically have some meets with Peter and Josh throughout the season.

What is a good jump to be considered "top"? At least around here we have a couple guys going around 14', but I don't know what the "top" is.
PR - 13'0"

If your a jumper with a PR of 14 people will notice you I think. I was just wondering if anyone knew of anyone to watch for this year that they have hopes will be pretty good.

I'm hoping I'll be able to get up to 14' by the end of the season ;) .

I forget Tom Stacy's PR, but he's pretty up there, I think.
PR - 13'0"

Mick Viken Sr.
Josh Winder Sr.
Kyle Reid Sr.
Peter Geraghty Sr.
Logan Pflibsen Jr.
Tommy Stacey Sr.
Japheth Cato Sr.
Matt Page Sr.
Josh Hodur Sr.

All these guys can potentially be in the 16' range next year. The top 2 already are. All the others I mentioned have a pr of 15'. Should be a good year for Illinois vaulting, a few of these guys will surprise some people with some big marks.

I put in the topic girls also. I know of 1 girl named Tonia Tuttle from harrisburg that i beleive is going to be at the top this year. She clearded 9.6 her first year ever vaulting and placed in state. There is another girl from Carmi I dont know the name of but looked like she had some promise last year.

Allie Pace of Geneva will be really good this year.
Megan Weller should be good, theres a bunch of girls that went to the north central camp this summer that improved a lot. But i definitely think Allie will be one of the top girls to watch.
