It is not a fast meet. They will start at like 11' or 11'6 and it will take forever, especially in the 12' - 13' range as many people go out at that height. They do have separate pits for boys and girls which makes it go faster than some invites, but there are still about 30 guys that have all cleared at least the starting height. It is a lot of fun.

How about the runway??? My teammate went to state last year and said it is a fast runway. 30 jumpers. Holy crap. That's gonna go slow.

Ohh thats awesome :D. I was wondering when Skipton was gonna start vaulting :P

As for Pasco, their track is really soft so you get a good spring and their football field just feels great to warm up on. Easily the best track I've been too.
