I know there was a problem last year with this because there is an NCAA rule that in order to qualify for the national meet, the qualifying mark must be met in a meet where there are a minimum number of events.
I know some coaches challenged this last year. My question is will they count this year? I want to make sure when we update our weekend review as I'm sure there will be several NCAA provisional and automatic marks.
Will marks count at Pole Vault Summit for NCAA?

I'll still add the marks, but make sure the media and public knows that they don't count towards NCAA qualifying (silly NCAA rule, in my opinion).
eh, not too silly if you think about it...these marks are set in a pole vault competition only in a hotel ballroom. hardly a track meet like the ncaa nationals. plus if an athlete jumps high, they ought to be able to duplicate the performance sometime later in the season, otherwise are they really worthy of qualifying?
