The men's competition will most likely come down to Novak (5.20 and 5.12 at Conferences) and Clark (5.05 and 5.15 at Summit) as it did during the outdoor meet last season. Look for one of the Monmouth men to step up and get third as they seem to have progress well from last season dispite hitting the auto early in the season. My predictions: 5.25 to win and 4.90 gets All-American.
On the women's side the competition will be much tougher as there are 9 vaulters over 12'. Rossi is definitely the favorite with a 3.90 mark this season, and something to prove after clearing only her opening height during last years outdoor championships. Heim, Becker, and Kihm are coming on strong after posting top marks during their conference championships this last weekend. Barnes is always a threat as she has proven the ability to vault high and comes through in clutch situations (last year's indoor champ). My predictions: 4.00 to win and 3.70 gets All-American.
