Well Nick went 15' 1" at the end of the season. He was a 14' 1" vaulter coming in. Kristen is ready to go 12 6 and i am ready to go 16 6. Kristen's sister is coming in at 10' 6". There is a girl from Minnessota doing about the same, and I believe one other girl besides you. So 7 or 8.

like u set a bungee at say 7 ft and another... i think we usually start at like 11 or 12 ft....then u have to get inbetween the bungees..and everyone has 3 tries....once everyone makes the height u move the top bungee down...soo it gets to were its impossible to get inbetween and so the last person left wins..not easy when u have boobs hehe. I dunno we play it all the time when coach isnt around..i just didnt know if other people played it or if we were just weird :)

its not that hard with the first heights, but when u get to where u only have like 2 feet between em it gets difficult.

haha ya my coach makes me do that alot...one time last season he said if i kick the 12 ft bar off then i get a free dinner... haha steak dinner it was ;)...it also helps when u have like a 13'6( Jeff Blair from my school) and he needs something a bit higher then he can work on that as the rest of us work on trying to kick it and get inverted

They say that whatever you can kick, you can clear abotu 2 feet under. That is why i like the drill, it is a confidence builer for me
