The mall pole vault and addition of the high jump this year inside a Des Moines Hy-Vee are exactly what track and field needs in order to grow the sport and attract new fans. The US Champs in Des Moines was very lackluster compared to the Drake Relays. I still think US Champs should be in Oregon but hope USATF, Nike, and other track and field organizations will learn from this and keep trying to grow the sport.
