When don't you have depth? I remember my freshman year LaCrosse qualified 5 guys for nationals. I was sitting thier at the conference meet watching a guy quaily auto and place ninth at the conference indoor meet thinking that sucks he didn't even place!!

we have ZERO pole vaulters here at CU boulder. unfortunately, they've all decided to quit over the past few years due to unsatisfactory coaching and little or no travel. bummer huh?

i never did. i tried out when i was a freshmen, but got shafted during the walk on process.... unless they show some interest in me in december, i dont think i'll think twice about joining the team.

fortunately, CO has a pretty active T&F community. I've hired a private coach, and theres a meet once a month, once everyother month or so that i can compete in. so i still get the chance to compete on my own. im pretty content with my situation.
