Surrey Park, Invercargill - 5-7 December 2003
Conditions were cold with a strong wind during the boys comp on Saturday and the girls comp on Sunday.
Luckily the wind was a southerly, making for a tailwind in the PV event - at the Surrey Park track
there seemed to be no facility for reversing the direction of the runway. Due to the strong wind
two assistants were employed with the lifters to hold the bar on during vaults! The official in charge
was responsible for making the judgement call in each case as to whether an attempt was made to push the
pole back, as in almost every case the wind would take it crashing into the bar. Another interesting
feature of the setup at Invercargill is that the PV runway is in lane 6 of the track, so that in some
cases there were delays while 800m or 300m races were run on the track.
