Jack Whitt set another meet record Sat in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the Great Southwest. Jack jumped 17.0275 for a meet record against a fierce crosswind. They stop the competition several times during the vault sessions because of high winds.

Nice job Jack!

how fun is that meet? i got an invite packet for it and want to know if its worth it

it is a good meet to go the times that jack went the weather wasn't very good but with the high altitude New Mexico is a good place to jump. The meet is ran off fairly well and the competition is normally good for the vaulters.
