San Marcos River Vault!! July 2nd!!!

[blakedow]

Jason Calle won the sub expert category with a very good 16-foot jump followed by Luther Blake at 15 feet.

C'mon... Luther Blake??? Did the guy even read the results...??? My first time in the San Marcos Daily Record, and they mess up my name... This sorta stuff always happens to me...

He's the San Martian. You don't try to understand it, you just accept it.

I know that Kris Allison has done about everything in his power to "correct" his takeoff, but it works so effectively, it would probably make his vault worse if he were to do it "right" because it would be out of his comfort zone... I am surprised to see how many vaulters are using this takeoff and being successful (i.e. Jason Colwick - 17', Jimmie Heath - 18', Mark Johnson - 18')... All these guys have gymnastics in their backgrounds and maybe that is where this crazy takeoff comes from, or maybe it is mere coincidence... I dont know, I'm not a proctologist... Maybe there is something to this unusual way of getting off the ground!!
