Re: Redhawk Twilight Vaultfest- Naperville Illinois
What a great success! Thank you again to all who came out and supported the Redhawk Twilight Vaultfest! We had 32 vaulters come out and have fun and shoot for personal bests. Out of the 32 vaulters we had 8 PRs and 5 other vaulters tie their PRs meaning almost have the competition PR'd or had attempts at setting new PRs. Even those who did not PR, many got on bigger poles, gripped higher, or took off on more often than under, which are great achievements themselves. Some notable achievements were:
Dylan Luethje- 2' PR!
Marisa Sarisone- 6" PR!
Casey Wood- 6" PR!
Mike Wilson- 6" PR!
Emmett Boyle- 1'6" PR!
Jake Cornish- 1' PR!
Tim Guthrie- 1' PR!
Joe Kalafut- 6" PR!
Congrats to you all and to everyone that came out and vaulted!
