AAU

In AAU and USATF Jr. Olympics you have to go through a qualifying process...first finish in the top either 3 or 4 at state and then regionals before you can go to nationals. No certain qualifying height...just finish well in your state and regionals. :D
That's Jodie!!

A scripture that makes me think of all you girls and guys pole vaulting....

Habakkuk 3:19
The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.

No not your state track meet. The AAU state or whatever meet. Go to http://www.dyestat.com/ they usually post a link somewhere to the AAU site.

That's right..to clarify...each state or association has a AAU and USATF State meet and Regional meet. The sites are usatf.org and aausports.org.
