Yolo Striders Track and Field Club (YSTFC) Summer Championship Vault Series – Meet #2 Results

 

Vaulters, Coaches, Parents,

What a great meet this weekend. The temperature was perfect and wind at our backs. The conditions must have been right because we saw no less than 9 PRs (6 new and 3 tied) and a fantastic 16’ jump by Austin Laut. Joint me in congratulating Gary Wuest 7’9” to 8’0”,  Garrett Kenison 8’6” to 9’0”, Robby Krause 9’6 to 10’0”, Dana Bowers 10’0 to 10’6”, Max Bjorni 11’0” to 11’6”, Brandon Venethongkham  11’2” to 11’6” for setting new personal records and to Sabrina Baioni at 7’6”, Bruce Vongnangam at 10’0”, Doug Osland 12”0” for tying their PRs.

With all the 6 inch PRs this week I had to move to the next evaluation criteria to determine who won this meet’s PR medal. Therefore, this week’s PR medal goes to Robby Krause who cleared 10”0” for the first time and increased his PR by 5%. Congratulations Robby. You can pick up your medal at the next meet.

Between the two sections we had a total of 31 vaulters. First section has 21 vaulters and the second section had 10. See below for results. Great fun was had by all.

Meet #3

Our next meet will be on 7/25/2015 at Bella Vista High School and is a Sanctioned USATF meet. Start time for each meet will be 11:00 AM with door opening at 9:00 AM. As with our last meet we will run two sections with the first section starting at 11AM. Opening height will be set no lower than 6 feet and will increment to 7 feet and then by 6 inch increments. The second section will start no earlier than 1PM with the opening height set at 11’ incrementing by 6 inches. If you plan on opening at or higher than 11’ you are welcome to show up at a later time so you don’t have to wait around. Remember, the second section will start no earlier than 1PM but most likely after that.
