i went twice. as an intermediate i went to the one i seattle. i didnt jump real high but since i am from illinois it was cool to travel so far to a track meet. im still not sure how i convinced my parents to pay for me to fly there and jump. but it was a fun trip i remember vaulting in a big stadium with a moderate crowd. i also remember watching a ballgame in the kingdome before they tore it down and going up in the space needle.
that was in '99 i think. one year it was in nebraska, a much shorter trip, but i didnt qualify
my final year that i was eligible for jo's(2001) i made it to the meet at sacramento. that was a really fun trip. this time my i was going to fly on my own until my dad figured out that it would be cheaper to take the greyhound and we could both go without spending a whole lot more money. it is a 48 hour bus trip to california from illinois by the way. but it was a great experience as well. i failed to clear a height but it was still glad i went.
so, if you can talk your parents into taking you i say go for it.
