Word on the streets is that on Saturday in the East Region they moved the vault indoors due to "excessive wind conditions"!!! Anyone know the deal with this?

the mideast was moved indoors at OSU

Did they move these indoors before or after the competition started?

no it started inside

You have got to be kidding!! I thought all venue's had to be the same. At the Mid-West, most of the vaulters had to jump with the wind socks at each end of the runway pointing at each other!!! Just look at all of the NH's. So much for equal!!!

it was stormin when they moved it in. so id rather be safe than equal.

i think its pretty stupid that they moved it indoors. but when you think about it, it doesn't affect anyone else. the top five go no matter what. its no like they get to send more people if they jump higher.

it wasnt that much better than other regions, result wise it it fit in with the others

wind was taking down trees where I was, thats about 60 minutes driving from OSU. You couldn't go walking in it (really, I tried) let alone vault. I don't know if you could do even running events it that stuff

I never heard my head coach express any strong feelings about regionals until now...

"Overall, we're still not in favor of the regional concept, but I'm really proud of the way we competed," Georgia head coach Wayne Norton said. "It was a very tough meet with rain delays and to do this many events in two days is very tough on the athletes. I think we competed well and I'm happy with the way we finished up as far as the team placing. We're looking forward to getting some rest before we go to the NCAA Championships."

Our student trainer that went, says both guys and girls were outside the whole time.

And he says it did not start to rain until Sat at 2, pouring by 7. Windy all day.
