Outdoor 2008
Southern Track Classic
Preview by Brandon Miles MilestatGIRLS: Meet director Dan Ward did not have to travel too far to find the best pole vaulters in the state as the state's top two ranked vaulters are from the Central Region in Atlee's Emma Dejarnette and Patrick Henry's Lizzie Powell (pictured above by Tom Hoerner). AAA state champion Dejarnette skyed over 12'6" at the Taco Bell Classic in early April to move closer and closer to the state record held by Ashley Early, while Powell has moved out of the shadows of her older sister Annie to emerge as a great vaulter in her own right with a spring best clearance of 11'9". Six vaulters are entered at 11 feet or higher to set up for a deep competition on Friday.BOYS: The pole vault competition at Dogwood of the big three in Daniel Inge, Matthew Armentrout, and Allen Kelly which was postponed due to severe weather will now resume at a different meet two weeks later with all three vaulting very well heading into this weekend. Inge's 16'4.75" clearance last weekend leads the group and state of Virginia, but Armentrout cleared 15'6" last month and Kelly went over 15 feet cleanly last Saturday at the Suffolk Invite.
