Incoming freshman Christine Borchers competed in the shot at the NON (Nike Outdoor Nationals) this past weekend. This meet is for the top high school track and field athletes in the country. She finished 14th at 40' 4 3/4".

Sophomore-to-be Courtney Siebenaller has qualified in the pole vault for the US Junior Nationals in Eugene this coming weekend. Still waiting to see if she declares.

Former Flyers Tara and Kara Storage are qualified for the 10K at the US Senior National Championships this coming weekend in Eugene. Looks like their Olympic Trials qualifying times from last year are still valid. Also waiting to see if they declare.
Followup - They have now declared. Their race is scheduled for Thursday night. ESPN is broadcasting that night - so they might cover the race.

I think incoming freshman Katie Nageotte would have qualified for both the NON and Junior Nationals in the pole vault but did not see her either place.
Both the Junior Nationals and the Senior Nationals are at Hayward Field in Eugene Oregon (6/25/09 - 6/28/09) - without a doubt the most famous and historic track venue in the country.
Question- How does one ship poles for the vault from Dayton to Oregon?
