Jeff's brother Paul emailed me when he was 15, all upset that RW was threatening to sue us. I even met him at an indoor meet he ran in Flagstaff. Paul ran distance at Indiana and Jeff vaulter. Now Jeff just needs a .02 Pr int he final to "make his dreams become reality."
He's perfectly prepared for this moment if you ask me.
The LRC faithful need to cheer for him and give him some advice for the final in case he reads this thread.

We need to all, as a running community rally behind Jeff Coover. He is one of us! A true badass in his event, but more importantly a special human being! He vaults on America's day, July 4th!

I will be rooting for Jeff in the trials.

I visited Jeff when he was maybe a freshman in college, and I met Paul. When I explained to Paul what Pole Vault Power was, he said, "Oh you're like the letsrun of pole vaulting!"
Jeff Coover is awesome, can't wait to see how finals go! -
Go Jeff! You're much smarter than at least one other Jeff on this board.

Jeff is most likely smarter than 100% of posters on this board, dude is unreal smart...
