Graduation the day before didn't help, either, but he looked like he running just fine.

I think its deffinitly in him, its just a matter of having the patience to wait for it to come, at whatever meet it wants to happen at. We all hope our PR's come at national meets, but in reality you cant PR at meets of your choosing, unless you arent giving 100% in other places. Ive found i do best at meets where i run the 100, which loosens me up, and then i come in to vault when its slightly cool on the runway, and theres no pressure because everyone else is out.

No, most vaulters dont do this, they loosen up in different ways, but im usually in the 100 which gets me nice and loose. For huge meets i know his school tries to keep him in just vault, but sometimes they make him run the 200, buts its good for him! haha. he mentioned he ran the 100 once, wicked fast for having a bad start, apparently. 11.2pole bender wrote:vault3rb0y wrote:I think its deffinitly in him, its just a matter of having the patience to wait for it to come, at whatever meet it wants to happen at.

does he even run the 100m? anyway , he can warm up without that(plus he'd probably not want to blow out a hamstring in the 100m). after a good stretch , some "pole" sprints in the grass and then 5 or so run ups/jumps. what else would he need?
