Way to go Lon to represent us Southern Louisiana Boys!! Hope all goes well with the new position and help our sport to a new level!!

I kno...

Girls: Stacy, Dana Ellis, MAry Sauer, Goa Shung (China)

Hopefully things can get on track there.

Totally agree Mike!!! We are still in search for the right place, right coach, right environment to expose itself. You move to SanDiego @ the OTC, you have the weather, facilities, training partners, but no real pole vault coach. You move to Baton Rouge, Hotter weather, facilties, descent coaches, b...
