Pole Vault Academy

Thursday night Tom and I drove over to Shawnee to work at Coach Mark Heard's Pole Vault Academy. Tom spoke to the kids about training and jumped in a exhibition for them. I had some great jumps I jumped over 17' a couple times and over 18' once. OBU has a great facility to jump and Coach Heard wants me to come over to train and jump there whenever I can.

Sooner State Games

Well once again I claimed a State Games Championship. I cleared 4.75 on my first attempt to win it all. Conditions weren't the best so i went right after the State games record and blew through my pole and didn't claim the record. But I am looking forward to the future, Joel and I talked and I have an 18' jump just waiting to happen. My practices have been awesome and I am just waiting for that right situation to pop one. Tim has helped me get my plant timing lined out and jumping on some huge poles. Stay tuned for THE BIG ONE.

Great Jumps Again

Well for the first time in a while I am happy and fired up about jumping. Joel and I have been going to Tim's on Tuesdays nights and Last Tuesday was a huge break through for me. I mean I was jumping close to 18' and on the biggest poles of my life. My run was perfect no energy was lost at take-off and i was flying. If only I did this a month ago. I can't wait till the next meet everyone says I will jump 18' again I sure hope so.
