My guess for the men is that 3rd will be 5.50... first will depend a lot on if Colwick and Roth are both jumping well. I don't see them being bold enough to do much passing... maybe 5.50 to 5.60, but probably 5cm after that if they both are still in, in which case I don't see it taking any higher than 5.65 to win. If one of those two has a good day and one a bad day, I see 5.75 being attempted.

For the ladies, that 5cm progression is going to be brutal and make for a long day. I think 4.45 will win, maybe even a clean 4.40. I think at least the top 6 will be over 4.30.


I could almost see top 4 being above 5.50 with the amount of talent in the field this year, but 3 and 4 going down to misses. As with Roth/Colwick? I think if either has a good day, they're both bold enough to do anything so ur guess is as good as mine

1) Scott Roth 5.65
2) Jack Whitt 5.50

Jason colwick=NH

However it's nationals so I would not be suprised if all of the above mentioned don't make it into the to 3. Pole vaulting is to unpredictable.

Roth 5.75
Colwick 5.70
Whit 5.60

The chances of all 3 hitting these marks is low ... it's such a crap shoot ... but I'm pulling for Roth ... and if I guessed 2 out of 3 correctly, then it's a good day.

I think Colwick has the best chance of hitting the big five eight oh, but he's a bit unpredictable ... thus KC's NH prediction. I'm not wishing anyone bad luck ... I'd rather see a battle with everyone healthy and near top form ... near or over everyone's PR.
