USA Outdoor Championships

USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships

It was a rough day for all the competitions, rain and more rain poured as we attempted to warm-up for the competition. The winds were at our faces most of the competition, making it hard to settle into a rhythm. There were only three heights cleared throughout the competition. Half of the field did not clear a bar at the first height. From there, 12 competitors proceeded to the next height. There were only seven competitions to clear the second height at 14’3.25 / 4.35m. The top two competitions cleared the third and final height of 14’7.25 / 4.45m.

My performance at the USA Outdoor Championships was not the outcome I hoped for. I finished 9^th among a field of 22 competitors, clearing 13’9.25” / 4.20m on a second attempt. As a result, I was only being one spot from making an International Team this summer.

Now back to the drawing board to get leaner, faster, stronger, and meaner. The road to Beijing ‘08 started today!

Saturday, April 28 was an unusally sunny and warm day in Des Moines, IA. Today was the first Drake Relays that the Invitational Pole Vault for the Women and Men took place on the newly remodeled track and field at Drake Stadium. The competition opened at 13′1 with five competitor and two passing to the next height. First up, I cleared the first height (13′1″) on my first attemp. I was the only one to clear to make it to the next height. Again, first up I clear 13′6″ on a first attemp. With the two remaining competitior entering into the competiton. O’hara cleared on her first attemp and Schwartz on her third attemp. With Schwartz passing to the next height of 14′2″, O’hara and myself jumped at 13′10″. Both missing all three attemps at 13′10″, Schwartz positioned to take the lead with a clearance at 14′2. Her missed attemps tired O’hara and myself for 1st. JUMP OFF! We started with the bar at 13′10″, both missing at that height. The bar was then lower to 13′8″. I missed on my one attemp and O’hara cleared crowning her as the 2007 Drake Relays Champions.
