2008 NCAA Track & Field Championships - Men's Pole Vault

Notice the strong resemblence between the jumper and his tattoo :-)

I found one open seat where the background for the shots was all sky. But after they completed the first height, when the bar was raised they also moved the posts toward the jumpers. That put a light post right smack in the picture and there was no good angle after that. Anyway I think all the jumpers made this height though some struggled a bit. You can see a lot more of the good, the bad, and the rest at http://www.pbase.com/paulkline/2008_ncaa_track__field.
