We don't often talk about the present in this blog but there is a somewhat unique competition going on tomorrow in Minneapolis. The Brit's Pub will be hosting a pole vault competition on their roof.
Yes, you read that correctly, on the roof. See the link below for more information.

You might want to get there early as the event starts at 10:00AM with Master's competition and runs through the evening, with a final event a professional contest at 7:00PM . I can already imagine some antics that might go on at such a gathering like jumping out of the pit, over the rail, and into the street, but we can only hope that the organizers have put up catch fences and lined the street with mattresses. Maybe the event is jointly sponsored with the Mattress Factory. I don't know.
We will look for the results and post them on this blog. Good luck guys and gals, stay sober.
great pics from the competition can be seen at the following link.

We are still trying to find the results.
Beginning our 14th year and 1,200+ postings. A blog for athletes and fans of 20th century Track and Field culled from articles in sports journals of the day, original articles, book reviews, and commentaries from readers who lived and ran and coached in that era. We're equivalent to an Amer. Legion post of Track and Field but without cheap beer. You may contact us directly at irathermediate@gmail.com or write a comment below. George Brose, Courtenay, BC ed.
