6/10 WKND: Jodon, Kauffman, Miller star in CA|Filtz/Hahn win in VA|Fast miles in West Chester. Jun 09, 2006

On Sunday in California at the Golden West Invitational, Jared Jodon won the Pole Vault, Aaron Kauffman was 2nd in the 800, and Travis Miller took runner-up honors in the Javelin. On Friday, it was a great start to little meet in West Chester on a comfortable, sometimes rainy, but never windy 1st Annual Distance Festival. How about three PA PIAA State Champions tuning up for next week\'s Nike Outdoor Nationals. And at the 1st Milestat.com Elite Track Gala, Diana Filtz and Ben Hahn won two distance events on Day One.
