New Vault Club in Louisiana

Unread postby Erica » Wed Dec 31, 2008 10:26 pm

We have started a new pole vault club in Hammond, Louisiana. We will have practice every week Sunday through Thrusday starting mid January. Practice will be held in the club's new indoor facility. I am especially excited to share the experiences and knowledge I have gained through a lifetime of pole vaulting - from high school through the Olympics.

Can you send me some guest vaulter info? My training partner and I would like to come out from time to time from the Houston area. Mike had a couple of real good observations of my jumping at the Quintana Beach Vault. Thanks! Bubba

We would love to have you! We are an easy 5 hour trip from Houston. We will be hosting some meets periodically as well. We've got a great board runway- about 100 ft, but will be adding another 30 feet or so.

Hi Erica,

Best of luck with the facility.

We missed you in Reno last weekend. I heard you got sick. I hope you are better.

Thanks, Wilson, I am feeling much better. I am getting ready to compete at Millrose in a couple weeks.

I posted a picture of the indoor pole vault place on http://www.myspace.com/bartolinaathletics if you want to check it out.
