I'm sure they'll set it up whatever way the wind is blowing!

I had a lot of fun being at a meet and not being in charge! You guys did a great job :)

Sean Young won with 5.25, Elliott Haynie also jumped 5.25. About 46 vaulters total, not bad for a first year event!

I think this was the first beach vault ever in Florida, which is pretty crazy considering all of the beaches!

Nice writeup by the Embry-Riddle folks:

EMBRY-RIDDLE BEACH VAULT
FUN AT THE BEACH

On a beautiful Saturday, competitors of all ages converged at the beach to test their ability to vault over a bar. Competitors ranged from middle schoolers to post-collegiate competitors trying to qualify for Olympic Trials to masters athletes who have done this for over forty years. All of the competitors raved about the event and had a great time jumping in front of the crowd of beach goers who watched and cheered them along.

The athletes and coaches at Embry-Riddle hosted the event and arrived early in the morning to rake and level the sand. Then they installed a 130 foot raised runway built with 2 x 4’s and plywood with a track surface rolled on top. Once the mat was laid, we had a very unique event as the pole vault was beachside instead of the track. Competitors raved about the runway with almost all 50 competitors commenting on how fast it was. Mark Peters, a master competitor said, “In 42 years of vaulting, this is the fastest runway that I have ever seen.” Add to the runway a nice tail wind and competitors were flying. Several competitors hit their personal best and all said they cannot wait for next year.

The event was highlighted by the performances of the post-collegiate as both Elliot Haynie and Sean Young pushed to qualify for Olympic Trials. Sean Young won the event and just missed his attempts at the B standard for Olympic Trials.

Embry-Riddle athletes faired well also, with Adam Holdsworth leading the way. Holdsworth hit a personal best 4.95 meters to win the collegiate men’s section. Megan Bumby lead the way for the Eagle women finishing third in the women’s event and just missing her personal best.

The event was split into five categories: Pre-High School, High School, College, Post-College and Masters. The winners in the various age groups were: Pre High School Girls:
1st place: Summer Schafers 2.75 meters
2nd place: Taylor Logue 2.75 meters

High School Girls
1st place: Jessica Harter 3.35 meters
2nd place: Emily Smithwick 3.05 meters
3rd place: Karin Sastre 2.75 meters

High School Boys
1st place: Cody Chernoff 4.10 meters
2nd place: Seth Young 3.95 meters
3rd place: Nathan Jeffers 3.80 meters

College Women

2nd place: Sasha Smallwood 3.20 meters
3rd place: Megan Bumby 2.90 meters

College Men

2nd place: David Shepherd 4.65 meters
3rd place: Jared Watkins 4.65 meters

2nd place: Elliott Haynie 5.25 meters

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to the event! It was a ton of fun and I'm extremely relieved that everything went well. The runway was a bit on the soft side in some places and will be touched up on to make it perfect for future events. The next event that we're hoping for is the mall vault in orlando this December. I'm planning to get the ball rolling on this in the next month or so, so be ready for updates on that in the near future! :)

Also, thanks a lot to Becca for the help on a few things that we were unsure of and for helping to spread the word of the event! Can't wait to see her (and Eddie!) back in Daytona in the coming months!!!!

What a great time at the Beach Vault. Thanks so much for putting it on. Everyone I knew there loved it. Runway was fast and tailwind was wonderful. Nice meeting a bunch of vaulters there, and especially Becca. Mall vault sounds great too. So much fun to see regular folks watching with wonder! One spectator hadn't vaulted since the 1970s and told me how cool it was to see the beach vault. Took a few videos and they can be seen at https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0ByKq9TCv5p5FRkVES2xuS1hSbnc/edit. Can't wait for next year's beach vault. Thanks again to Mike and Emory Riddle for all their hard work in putting it on.
