Last night (5/6) South Dakota recruit Emily Grove of Pontiac (IL) High School Vaulted 13-5 to win her conference meet.

Read about it here.

1. Emily Grove, Pontiac 13-5
2. Emily Clay, Univ. High School (Normal, IL) 12-6
3. Sarah Bell, Bloomington Central Catholic 12-6
4. Liz Composto, Univ. High School 12-0

The best data I could find puts that at the #3 vault in the nation. Is this correct?

And I forgot 5th place Sarah Oprondec from Fairbury Prairie Central (10-0).

That's the #1 (Bell) and #9 (Oprondec) finishers from last year's Class 1A Illinois State Meet.
The # 1 (Grove), #2 (Clay) and #5 (Composto) finishers from last year's Class 2A State Meet. (we do 3 Classes in Illinois)
And of course Grove's vault is now the #1 All-Time best vault in Illinois history. Clay moves up one spot to 4th (tie with 5 girls), and Liz moves into 10th (tie with 6 girls).

All from one conference. And not coincidently, the same club team.
