2007 Bella Vista Track and Field Announcements

Sac Bee's All Metro Teams! Veronica Stimson 1st Team!


BV Star Crushes Pole Vault Record! Bella Vista star Veronica Stimson made a statement in a big way on Friday night (5-25-07) at the Sac Joaquin Section Masters meet tying a Masters meet record in the pole vault, winning the masters meet pole vault championship, and shattering her own school record by vaulting 13 feet.  To put it into perspective here is what 13 feet means.  She has the best pole vault mark in the Sac Joaquin Section this year (Sac Joaquin Section Best Marks List!) and tied for number two all time, she has the third best mark in the state this year (State Best Marks!), she is 11th on the California State all time list, and finally she is ranked in the top 10 nationally (National List).  It also ties her for number 15 all time on the Bella Vista Boys pole vault list!  Wow!  This is truly one of the greatest performances in Bella Vista track and field history!  Way to go Roni! (again).  Thanks for the memories!


                 

Veronica Stimson Continues to Amaze!  At today's Sac Joaquin Section Masters Meet (5-24-07) BV high jumper/pole vaulter extraordinaire Veronica Stimson qualified for the CIF State Meet for the second year in a row in the high jump going 5-06 inches.  That height was good for second place.  Tomorrow Roni tries for a second birth into the same state meet when she competes in the pole vault.  If you can, come out and support her and catch a great track meet!  Way to go Roni!!!!! 


Senior Veronica Stimson set a school record in the pole vault vaulting 12-04 at the Sac Joaquin Section Division 2 Finals on Friday!  She broke Katie Nishimura's record of 12-03.  In vaulting 12-04 she also became the division 2 pole vault champion.  Congratulations Roni!

Thanks: I would like to say thank you to all of the people who helped out at the Bronco Invitational.  I joke with the kids on the team that the week of this meet is the most stressful of my life (which means I have a pretty good life!).  The thing is with all of the help I get from the coaching staff, parents, and team I really don't feel the stress quite as much.  This year's addition was one of our most successful.  Thanks for making it happen!
