NAU wins championship
Domination was the name of the game Saturday at the Big Sky Outdoor Track and Field Championships, as the Northern Arizona University men’s team, led by meet MVP Jordan Chipangama, rode eight final day event wins to a Big Sky record 221 team points and the fourth-ever season sweep for men’s cross country and track and field.Chipangama led all scorers with 26 points — the entirety of which were scored Saturday — following a win in the 1,500 meters (3 minutes, 52.58 seconds) with a pair of silver medals in the 800 (1:50.96) and 5,000 meters (14:51.70). The honor itself was also a season sweep for the Lumberjacks, as All-American Diego Estrada won both the Big Sky cross country title and the Big Sky Indoor MVP award earlier this year.

Why isn’t track more popular?
Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sport… the thrill of victory… and the agony of defeat… the human drama of athletic competition.That was the intro to ABC’s Wild World of Sports.Nothing in my mind sums up the allure of watching human beings compete than those words … the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat, the human drama of athletic competition.And, no sport, better exemplifies those qualities than track and field. Yet, people will watch televised poker tournaments, but not track. And, it ABC’s Wide World of Sports introduced me to the wonders of the long jump, high jump and hurdles.So, why isn’t track wildly popular as a spectator sport in the United States?That’s not a rhetorical question. I sincerely don’t get it.There is no greater spectacle in sport than the hand-offs in the 800-meter relay. There is nothing quite so breathtaking as seeing a pole vaulter launch him or herself into space. And, track offers the kind of one-on-one competition that baseball, basketball, football, hockey and soccer are built around.Track is riveting. This week’s Class 2A sectional at Salem is a perfect example.The 3,200-meter relay is normally not one of my favorite events. Yet, Thursday night’s race was as compelling as anything I’ve ever seen.Freeburg led the entire race. When Lena Reiff got the baton on the anchor leg she was 30 meters behind Freeburg and appeared to be running for second place.Reiff made up little ground on the first lap, but the Freeburg runner seemed to be tiring. At first it was imperceptible, but Reiff clearly started making up ground on the backstretch.By the final turn, it was clear Reiff had a chance. Impossible as it seemed just two minutes earlier, the Murphysboro runner surged into first place about 10 meters from the finish line That moment provided the drama that draws all of us to athletic competition. And, similar moments played out throughout the meet.And, track is unique in one other aspect, particularly in the field events. Athletes actually root for each other.
Harrisburg’s Lindsey Murray and Carbondale’s Jessi Dryden were locked in a classic pole vault battle. Murray topped her previous best by seven inches to take first place. As the two vaulters battled it out, athletes, coaches and spectators, regardless of school loyalty, gathered round to cheer the two girls on.
Why? That answer is simple … it was the human drama of athletic competition
: Springs’ Watson closes career with a bang in pole vault
AUSTIN — At the site of his new home, Reese Watson showed one last time he is the state’s best pole vaulter.The Spring senior captured his second straight gold medal in the Class 5A pole vault at the State Track and Field Championships in Austin on Saturday. The event was the final one of his high school career, before beginning his college career at the University of Texas. Watson went for the record in the pole vault, but just narrowly missed clearing the 17-feet, 7-inches mark.”I definitely wanted to finish my senior year with a bang,” Watson said. “I tried to go for the record, but didn’t quite get it. I will take it, though.”Watson claimed the pole vault title last season with a winning jump of 16-feet, 9-inches. He bested that mark on Saturday, making a successful jump of 17-feet.The win was even more impressive considering Watson missed much of the outdoor season with a quad strain. He had jumped 17-feet, 7-inches in the indoor season, but the quad injury kept him from reaching that height in the outdoor meets.”I was happy to be back and healthy,” Watson said. “I was glad to come away with the win after having that quad injury this year.” more

MOUND CITY, KANSAS – Pleasanton dominated the Three Rivers League Relays here Thursday, winning both team titles by wide margins and collecting 22 boys’ and 23 girls’ medals. Pleasanton’s boys winners begin with Preston Coffman, who took the 300-meter hurdles in 42.83 and the pole vault at 12 feet even. The pole vault led a 1-2-3 finish as Mason Coffman was second at 11′ 6″ and Zac Willis was third at 10′ 6″. more
Hooker happy to improve on qualifying
AFTER putting his mental yips behind him and finally booking his spot for the London Olympics, pole vault champion Steve Hooker is out to recapture his best form.In his first competitive hit-out since February, Hooker cleared the A-qualifying height of 5.72 metres in Perth on Friday night to secure his berth at a third straight Olympics.The 29-year-old was well aware of the need to vastly improve on his 5.72 metres if he is to challenge for a medal at the Olympics.”A height of 5.72 metres isn’t going to get you anywhere near [a gold medal], but that’s a really great start,” Hooker said. ”Momentum’s an amazing thing and I feel like I’ve got a lot of it at the moment and I want to keep it coming over the next few months.”All the things I’ve been working on for the last couple of years have been there, but the run-up had kind of been missing. [Friday night] was a big part of getting back towards that. I really felt aggressive on the runway for the first time in a couple of years.”Hooker, who boasts a personal best of 6.06 metres, will now look to make further progress at meets in Shanghai, Rome, Munich and Lille over the next two months.The West Australian leaves for China on Wednesday and said he was cherishing the thought of another Olympics tilt.”I took making the 2008 team completely for granted. It was a given,” Hooker said. ”Probably every team Continue reading
Gerber makes history
SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ — James Gerber made history at Saturday’s Greater Middlesex Conference Track & Field Championships.The South Plainfield High School senior became the first boy to win the pole vault in back-to-back years since the league meet was established in 1986. He cleared 13-0, tying his personal best and beating runners-up D.J. Ditter of Dunellen and Tim Dunn of St. Joseph-Metuchen by a comfortable 18 inches at Frank Jost Field.
“I came in here trying to break records,” said Gerber, who is chasing the school record of 14-0 that has stood since the 1970s. “I absolutely love this sport, I love pole vaulting. Competing on the home turf might be a little bit of an advantage but I’ll take it.”
Gerber drives more than an hour to the Pennsylvania-based Vertical Assault club to train in the event year-round. He also captured the GMC title indoors. He will continue vaulting at East Stroudsburg next year.
“Freshman year when I first saw (the vault) I was like, ‘I can do this,’ ” he recalled. “Eventually I caught on.” more
