I'd like to know when I made those quotes for that article. I never once spoke to the San Marcos Daily Record about X-Treme Vault, I don't believe pole vaulting is the next extreme sport, and we didn't have near 50 emerging elite vaulters. We had NCAA champ Maston Wallace and some good high schoolers. It was a good time.

I understand the gas crunch, I'm local and it was definitely a bite in the budget to drive an hour and a half away. Kris pulled off another great event though, glad I was there. No real big jumps, but Kris put on a real pole vault community affair, plenty of warm up time, the accomadating business was very hospitable and great jumping conditions. I salute the Allison family for staying comitted to putting this event out in different locales, that was a lot of work to pull off, mobilizing two pits and two runways so soon after the river vault. Thanks Kris and the rest of your crew for a great day.
compete and jump safe, have fun
