Elyea Opens Eyes with Big Vault

Not many people have heard of Lake Region senior Cara Elyea, frankly I hadn't. But you should now. After clearing 11 feet a couple of weeks in a row, she hit an 11-8 that should put her on everyone's radar as one of the top pole vaulters in the state going into districts in a couple of weeks.

North Florida Open Meet Summary

Ask a runner what makes them good at their event and you will get varied answers, but one answer for sure was "no wind". The Tommy Oliver Stadium in Panama City is never lacking for a windy day. This year's North Florida Invitational was no exception.
