But just for fun... I thought I would create a poll. I voted for Herring who is still competing professionally and more than likely is the no brainier choice here. I wanted to vote for Fife just because that's my guy... But I am not voting for who's my guy is. lol

I voted Jordan Fife because he was there when I was there. I had the opportunity to follow his T and F career. He was an amazing talent.

Mike Hanna was a fine pole vaulter about 40 years ago.

for the women it's Hollie Hyche, hands down, no contest.

By all means if you all think I have missed some people do share who I might have missed and what they accomplished while they were here! I do know of Mike Hanna though. Can't get them all on the poll if you will.... lol

Epic... Ronnie D from X-Trees, I hoped you would fine us over here! lol

Yeah educate me please... I saw your post on X-Trees about greatest athlete ever and thought it was a great idea. Plus on here you can make polls and such. So I pretty much played off your post and information out of the media guide.
