Tuesday evenings starting the 29th of May 2007 a Men's USATF Sanctioned Pole Vault competition will be held at The University of Arizona's Track in conjunction with the Tucson Parks and Recreation meets. The entry fee will be around $10.

This will continue to happen on Tuesday evenings all through June and even in July.

So the entry fee has finally been nailed down, $3 per competition of course, the entry fee is paid to Kevin Opalka, If I am not at the meet please square up with me at a different time or give your entry fee to one of the UofAZ vaulter to pass along. ALL participants MUST have a USATF card.

Until I get more interest from people with pr's above 5.00m the meets will all be run as all-comer meets. They begin on May 29th and will be every Tuesday night until August with the meets begining at 6:30pm.

Any question feel free to email me.

Conditions were good early in the evening nice tail that came around to a slight cross, usually it is the other way around and when the sun goes down it becomes great to vault.

Looking forward to the rest of the summer series

unfortunately, it was 15'7. Very fun meet though, despite the wind shift. I give it a :yes:
