Meet Information
Start Time- This year we will have 2 sections, girls / women and boys / men. The girls will start at 10am, and the boys will start at around 3pm. Runway will open up at 8:30am for the girls, and around 2:00 pm for the boys. As with all of our meets, the ATHLETES are why we do the meets. So we will gladly give more warm up time if need be. This event is for you.
Pole Drop Off- The event will be held on South Hogan Street, and that street will be blocked off. We will try our best to have a "pole drop off" area where you will be able to unload your poles / stuff right at the competition site, so that you don't have to park and then drag your poles to the event. This area should be right at the intersection of Water Street / E. Independent Dr and South Hogan Street. (Right between the Landing and the Times Union Center for the Performing Arts).
Tents / Athlete Area- We will have an area set aside where athletes can set up tents to sit in the shade. Feel free to bring chairs as well.
Parking- Street parking is free on Saturday in Jacksonville, and there are spaces right next to the vault area. If those fill up, there is parking available on either side of the Landing. Also, this link should provide more information on parking that is very close:

Weather- The chance of rain on Saturday is 40%, and like much of Jacksonville summers, if it does rain it will pass through quickly. So if it does rain, we will take a break, but the show will go on. I also have spent the past 6 weeks testing the wind conditions on the street, and feel quite confident on having a nice tailwind / breeze for the vaulters.
Food / Drink- You can bring any type of food / drink to the event, and there are plenty of dining options within walking distance. Some of the local restaurants will be at the event and will have food and drink specials.
Waivers- We will have liability waivers that will need to be signed when you check in for the event (per the Landing).
Awards- All competitors will receive a t-shirt for competing. Not just any shirt, but an actual shirt from this specific event! This year we will be giving medals to the top 3 high school girls, as well as for the top 3 post- HS girls. Same for the boys. We also have a special "Champion Trophy" for the overall boys and girls winner.
Music- We are excited to have an MC, announcer, as well as music throughout the event. If you have a twitter account, use the hashtag #Duvault to request any songs that you want played during the event, and we will do our best to accommodate. Also, if you want a specific song played when you vault, email it to me!
