CO State Fair Street Vault (very) amateur photo gallery

[DrJay]

Held yesterday. I caught the "elite" division, they also had what looked to be HS and open divisions earlier. Rory Quiller took the men's at 17'6", missed three times at 18'0", with Pat Manson, Dan Ryland, and I believe Paul Litchfield also over 17'0". Event record is about 18'8". Catherine Frappier over either 12'6" or 13'.


Spectators anxiously awaiting start of the big PV comp:

Thanks, Dr. Jay. I've been involved in several street vaults and they really are fun! Put it near a mall and the crowds go nuts!

The guy in the Team USA gear is Mike Arnold of Idaho State.

That's awesome that Pat made 17'!

Yes, and the other gal was from, I think, Cal Poly SLO?
