Top NJ vaulters

[Cooleo111]

I'm trying to figure out who's going to be at the meet of champions this year...so far I've come up with about 6 guys that are up around 14 feet.

Purves 14'8 (Indoor)
Oberg 14'3
Kline 14'3 (Indoor)
Kerr 14'1
Mancini 13'9 (probably higher)
Barlett 13'6 (can go higher)

Anybody I'm missing?

i know there is a kid from Ridgewood in bergen county going around 13'6'' (i dont even know if you named him, i forgot his name but i know he's the only one to beat me in a dual/tri meet this year)

[blazerunner121]

Del Piano - 15'
Zamora - 14'7"
Brown - 14'
Kovach - 13'6"
Sahlman - 13'6"

purves got 15' at varsity classics but i dunno how he's doin right now. and the ridgewood kid is kovach.

moc should be interesting.

[Cooleo111]

Yeah that Brown kid is pretty good

Anyway, Barlett and Detwiler both went 14' so there should be a good amount of competition, even before the MOC.

There are quite a few child prodegies developing now. I know Josh Bradley in Arkansas is a freshman at 13'6, and now Eric, and then of course corey shank. Might be developing a crazy class of 2009.

Eric is a beast!!!

[vault3rb0y]

lol is he?? Is he a big kid or just freakishly fast with good form?
