how high?

How high should a high school girl be going before she goes to Reno? I know it's an all-ability type thing, but what heigh-clearances do you think make it worth the trip/expense/etc?

high enough to where she enjoy's it, and wouldnt be too bumbed if she didnt PR, win or get 10 feet or like some of the girls. but i'd say 7 or so?
PR- 15-1
Great season, time to top it

My PR was like 8' the first year I went.

I wouldn't base if it's worth it on a PR though. There are pits that start at 5 or 6 feet. The overall experience is what's worth it.

my pr was 12 the first year i went and thats not very good for a guy but id say anyone who really works for the vault and isnt a person who just shows up durring track season but one that works all year round to be good should go because if you want to learn there are so many people to learn from there
pain is only temporary victory is forever
