June 14, 2025 Update:
We are combining the mens and womens pole vault into one flight. Therefore runway warm ups will begin at 4:30 with actual competition starting at 5:30. Please check in at the table near the pole vault pit when you arrive. We are going to hold this meet outside. Please stay tuned to this site for updates.
There will be a general admission fee for spectators to be paid at the gate. Hangry Panda food truck and Tony's ice cream truck will be on site, a DJ spinning music all night and a professional announcer. See you at GMU!
