the best was when the guy on pit 5 had his pole fly up and hit the ceiling

He's a decathlete from McNeese, first the pole nailed him in the ribs and then shot into the ceiling. Cool guy none the less.

well the results came back from the doctor, avulsion fracture to my clavicle and a level one separation. out for at least 4 weeks, but i can start running on monday. i'd say i am very lucky to have only injured myself this little. at least i got a 1 cm PR at reno too, but i think i learned more from this meet than any other meet before. reno was a blast. lots of good memories made. i have my fall on video and would post it on here but dont know how, if anyone knows how, let me know. -clay.
