iWOMtWMMUOWIl QUIETLY continued from page 7 happy I scored at conference. Making it to nationals would be a great feeling and could make an average season into a great one." Skipper's strategy With his school record-breaking clearance of 18 feet, 8 3/4 inches during the indoor campaign, freshman pole vaulter Tommy Skipper assured himself a trip to the NCAA Championships. With that in mind, the Sandy native is looking to focus on improving his technique during regionals, rather than worry about coming up with a top five mark. "I'm just looking to work on my technique, and I know people are get ting tired of hearing that and I keep re peating it," Skipper said, "but that's all I'm trying to work on. When it all comes together it's going to be a good day because I've been working hard. "Coach (Mark) Vanderville has been working hard with us and it may come together this week or it may come together later." Skipper won the Pac-10 pole vault title 11 days ago with a clearance of 18-3 1/4. While his successes may bring added intensity from his op ponents, Skipper said he welcomes the competition. "I'm hoping those other guys who are jumping against me want to beat me as bad as I want to beat them," Skipper said. "There's some good jumpers in the region and they're fully capable of jumping 18-4 or 18-6, but like I always say, I'm just going to go out and compete as hard as I can for myself and my teammates."
