Hey guys,
My club, Arkansas Vault Club, is having a "Street Vault" competition in Hot Springs, AR on July 12th. Still working out the details, but we have been assured that this will be a USATF sactioned event with several sponsors, prizes, local tv stations, radio stations, etc. We want every vaulter that can drive, fly, run or swim (however you can get here) to come and compete. We have a great spot on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, a peninsula that juts out into the water about 200 feet. That's where we are having it (great backdrop pics). Great equipment: International Essex pit, 42" wide plywood runway with Mondo rubber. Just email me with any questions: mcsanders1@alltel.net
Hope to see you here, Morry

Aah, Lake Hamilton...I spent many a weekend there on a boat.

Sounds like a great time, maybe have a little tubing contest afterwards?

Dockers is a good time and Univ of Ark has their pre-Rush something over the July 4 weekend.

<---wondering if it's the Tyson Chicken Lake House peninsula?

I'd love to go but I have a pesky thing called a job...we'll see.

What kind of heights are you looking for at the street vault? as a male jumping 12'6 / 13' is there a prayer of me being able to do anything at this meet?

Every vaulter competing will be grouped within about an 18 inch range, regardless of age. We won't combine girls and guys of course. There will be a positive atmosphere and a really fast runway to hopefully produce a lot of PR's.

Well, Dockers is about 50 meters away from the vault site, and since we will vault on a peninsula, there could be some tubing going on all around us. There will be tons of boats coming in all day. Right next to the vault site is the busiest spot on the lake, a Super Station fuel stop for boaters. Sorry, not the Tyson Chicken peninsula. It's owned by Power Boats, Inc.

We're still in the first stages of getting this thing off the ground. We are going to get several sponsors and will have some prize money for the elite vaulters. Not sure how much yet. The more big name vaulters we can get to commit to it, the more funding we will be able to get. This is our first rodeo on something like this, but we can promise great facilities and a huge crowd.

Any New Info? Start Lists, Amount of Prize Money, and Times?Thanks

Elite Men will begin at noon. So far guaranteed prize money is $300 1st, $200 2nd, $100 3rd. We're not looking to make money off of this event, so any additional sponsorship will add to the prize pot. Adam Keul, Brian Dacuhna, Jeremy Hull and Gordy Sasser are registered to compete in the elite group so far. There's one other from Florida that's coming with Dacuhna, but I can't remember his name off the top of my head.
