There was some pretty good vaulting with alot of potential from other athletes aswell over the weekend. Liz parnovs vaults were amazing. They seem to be getting younger and younger these days.

Wow that is 2 cm away from 12 feet at 12 years of age! For a girl!

I think ages 11-14 would probably be the easiest time for a girl to jump their age, as they are still similar in build to the boys, or even physically ahead of boys their age.

I would love to see video.
