USATF Press Release:


Pole Vault

2004 Olympic Games fourth-place finisher Derek Miles was #1 U.S.-ranked last year and posted the top performance by an American this outdoor season when he cleared 5.80m/19-0.25 on May 29 in Sacramento.

Another favorite in Des Moines is 2007 World Outdoor champion and 2005 World Outdoor Champs silver medalist Brad Walker, who won his third USA Outdoor crown last year prior to injuries causing him to miss the World Outdoor Championships. 2009 USA Outdoor Champs runner-up Jeremy Scott will be in the mix, along with 2004 Olympic gold medalist Tim Mack and 2010 NCAA Outdoor champion Jordan Scott from the University of Kansas.

I like how T&F News picked Jeff Ryan for 7th, when he is not even entered in the meet. Looks like he stayed over in Europe.

Live field series will be posted here... if their servers don't totally crash from everyone hitting reload.

The men pole vault at 5:45 central time tomorrow (Friday)

So NCAA can have live video of every jump and USATF cannot arrange the same? Because you know we won't see it on TV.

Anybody there going to submit real time reports to PVP? Bubba

FloTrack and RunnerSpace both have live video feeds, I will post the links a bit later. Neither are focusing specifically on the vault, but I am sure we'll see a few jumps. You can see the live X's and O's on flashresults.com, I will also post the link to that when I get a chance.

[rainbowgirl28]

Should have started by now? I don't see live updates though They should be here: http://www.flashresults.com/2010_Meets/ ... ts25-1.htm


In better news, Runnerspace says that in an hour, when the live ESPN feed starts, they will be focusing on field events.

Here is the height progression: 5.35/5.50/5.60/5.65/5.70/5.75

It looks pretty windy. I only caught the end of the girls competition, but it looked like the officials were holding the bar on the pegs, at least in between jumps.

Triple jump is going on right now, and the wind readings range from 1.6 to 4.2.
