Skipper plans to open high at Oregon today

And if the weather conditions are favorable, there could be a few surprises.

Take the pole vault, for example. Skipper, a junior who captured his second NCAA Indoor title last week with a clearance of 18 feet, 8 3/4 inches, would love to take advantage of his current fitness with a big mark.

"The plan is to open high and try to jump as high as I can," Skipper said. "After that, I go into a rigorous outdoor training session for several weeks to get a good base for the next couple of months. (Today) is probably the freshest I'll be for a while."

He jumped 18' 6 1/2"... must have been a typo.

I would like to know what the RIGOROUS OUTDOOR TRAINING SESSION IS :idea:
I would much rather work with 100% heart and 75% talent than 100% talent and 75% heart!

Training session difficulty..

Unread postby baggettpv » Wed Mar 22, 2006 1:36 am

A hard training session is one that you can barely stand up after. It's called training to fatigue. His Oregon coaches know all about that. Dan Steel is doing a great job in the training.
