On The Rise

Had a great session tonight. I had one jump Tim thought was awesome it felt good too. I seem to be on the rise right now and really fine tuning things I never thought about in my vault. Things seem to just be flowing together well and i am really exploding off the top. I am really looking forward to jumping in some meets and of course our Halloween vault on Thursday. Maybe I'll get some video up soon. Well too every out there you know. good luck

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.

Its all Good

Well we love it here in Yukon, we have great friends here and a great training environment. I had a great practice session monday with Joel and workouts are going great too. I ordered new poles monday and I am looking forward to going with Joel, Wes and maybe Tom to Chanute in about a week. I think we will have a great time hope to see some of you this summer.
