I was implying that brad has been the most consistant jumper for his age and he will only get better barring injury. He is the exception for not getting really good until the ages of 28-34.



"He is the exception for not getting really good until the ages of 28-34." so after 34 how fast does the "average" athlete(pv) decline? (can they improve?)


Actualy I think they just keal over and die

I'll take:

GUYS

1. Brad Walker
2. Tye Harvey (He's overdue :) )
3. Bobby Most

GIRLS

1. Lacy Janson
2. Chelsea Johnson
3. Lesa Kubishta

I hear Bobby is about to train with the number one vault coach in the state of TEXAS. Rumor also has it that Lesa is getting back into the game... Tye is way overdue and just a cool guy... Brad, Lacy, and Chelsea are all kinda obvious choices... :P
4.75... Write THAT down...

He said at USAs that he had just figured out how to pole vault, right before the deadline for qualifying. It sounded like he was still going after it.
