Tulsa Invite
I jumped good in warm ups just let the weather bother me during the meet. It was cold and rainy and the wind was kind of swirling. i made 4.75 to win then moved the bar up to 5.05 blew through a pole then went up a pole and never really made a good go at it. Next week is OBU I like jumping there and looking forward to jumping there.

OCU and OU Open II
Well both meets went ok I won the OCU meet with 4.90 then went for 5.15 but didn't squeak over it. At the last OU meet I struggled real bad and manage to clear 4.88 on a third attempt and then kind of tweaked my right hammy at 5.08. The next week we had two very warms days and I got two good jump sessions in with Tim. Thursday's was really good, I got on a really big stick and made some decent bungees. Then that Saturday Jack Whitt who trains with me sometimes went out and jump 17'10.75" to break Joe Dials state record and become #7 high school jumper of all time.

Sooner Open I
Well last weekend went fairly well I won the meet with 4.90. It wasn't as high as a bar as I wanted but everything felt good Made 4.75 and 4.90 both on first attempts with plenty to spare. Then moved the bar to 5.05 and went up poles I rode through on first and second because I let my run get away from me a bit. The third attempt was a great run even though I almost ran over a guy who walked out on the runway and had plenty of height just brushed it on the way down and it wobbled off. This weekend is back to OU for an OCU meet. Plan is to jump high and have fun. Hopefully I will get some more video real soon.

Last Two Meets
Well last two meets didn't go so well. Well actually the first one was really bad I only managed to jump 15'3" even though I cleared it by a mile it was way too low of a bar for my liking. The next meet also at OU wasn't as bad I jumped 16' but blew through the same pole I jumped 17'6" on last summer then i struggled to transition to the next pole which is also the biggest pole I've ever jumped on. I will jump at OU for the next 3 meets hope fully I jump 17'+ real soon.

Pole Vault Round Up
I traveled south to Joshua Texas this weekend to the pole vault round up. I didn't jump to well jumped 16' to win but the runway was horrible and wouldn't allow me to actually run hard and get on big poles. I was stuck under on every take off and struggled all day. But given the conditions didn't jump that bad I guess. Not sure where I am jumping next we'll See.

Fall Training
Well i have had 2 weeks of training and jumping on the smoking fast runway Joel and I built at Tim's. I had 2 good jump sessions this week and had a few good jumps at both sessions. Tim is pretty excited about the way things are coming around. I have really found my speed again and been hitting the box hard. We are planning a Halloween Vault and i hope to jump a decent bar for a fall PR. The group at Tim's is getting big and the emerging elite we have there are going to be good. Joel has something big coming up and Tracy is putting a few good things together. See ya at the next one.........

Well Time To Get it Rollin Again
Well its time for fall training me and Joel Plan on tearing it up. I had a great end to my summer except that my last planned comp. was rained out. I been jumping really well in practice and learned a ton here lately. I know God has alot more in store for me and I am ready to see what it is. I have to say this year has been a real challenge but i feel I have made it so far. Last jump session I broke a 14' 180 from 4 lefts and it banged me up pretty good but i got up and planted again. I think me and Joel have decided this is the year that maybe a god one and we are planning to jump high early and try to make a run at some big meets. Stay tuned.

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.

The End is Near
Well our time here in Arkansas is coming to an end. Tomorrow we are packing for the move to Yukon. I will try to jump in the Arkansas Twilight tomorrow, then we are hitting the road Saturday morning. Oklahoma has great things in store for us, such as great Friends like Joel and Wes, I will be going back to school, a good church In Life Church and closer to family. Arkansas was a learning experience and was good for us. But Arkansas wasn't for us. Well wish us luck and hope to see some of you around.

Meet Today
Well I had a solid week of training and jumping and I am looking forward to jumping tonight. I must say I do need some more poles but I will just have to wait. I feel as good as I ever have jumping and think some big things are going to happen when I get these new sticks. My push off is in the 40" range every jump and if I maintain that and get on these new poles that puts me over 18' which will make me happy for this year.
I want to thank some of the people helping me out this year.
Joel
Wes

Weekend Off
Well decided to take the weekend off, to do a little training and a little packing. I will jump next weekend here in Arkansas my last meet before we move. I am looking forward to getting my new poles and jumping even higher. I recently jumped over 17' gripping 14'8" in practice. If I had a couple more poles I think i could easily be over 17' in a meet, dang adrenalin. So far I have made 9 attempts at 17' or higher Outdoors . My outdoor average is 5.o3 meters not bad for such a crappy indoor season. Joel and I have plans for a big summer and if we can get Wes rollin we are going to have a ton of fun this summer.

Another Seasons Best 5.09
Well I went back to Coffeyville this weekend to defend my title and try to beat my meet record. I didn't have great warm ups but, I had a great meet I made everything on the first attempt clearing a seasonal best of 5.09m 16'8.75" on first attempt to win my second meet in a row and had 2 really solid attempts at 5.25 17'2.5" but was running out of poles. I have been jumping on my biggest 4.75 Spirit and have some more 4.90 Spirits on order. Also my good buddy and soon to be training partner Joel cleared 17' at OCU this weekend. Good job Joel.

Another Fairly Successful Weekend
I traveled to OKC this weekend and found a job and maybe a place to live. Then I competed at OBU and won with a huge clearance of 4.95 then had 3 really good attempts at 5.25 but blew through my biggest pole on all three. But i got the confidence now to get back over 17' and make some attempts eventually at 18'. I need about 3 more poles so if anyone is inerested in sponsoring me give me a holler.
