--Asked why the improvement this year, Rachel Viau, Oral Roberts bound,
where she will train with Coach Joe Dial, "A great deal of time in the
weight room, and a couple of hours a day of vaulting!!!" Great field here
with great results. The bar seemed to be very, very forgiving this day,
with some of the higher clearances marked by some serious banging of the
crossbar as athletes went over. Rivera set an El Salvador National Record
with her 12-00 clearance!!!. Another event that will be a highlight of the
spring season. Relative novice Kira Costa continues to compete very
strongly, with the 14.87 hurdler and 17-11 Long Jumper over 12-00 here,
duplicating her impressive effort from the Reno Vault Summit!!
