What is the junior (junior as in grade 11) boys indoor record?

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2006 10:53 pm**

Here's the scoop. I posted this thread using a cell phone while in Fayetteville, so details would have been hard to write with those little buttons.

Spencer opened at 15-6 and blew through with the standards burried. Went up poles and made it and 16-0 on his next two attempts, almost blowing through at 16-0. Went up poles again (14-9 190lbs.) and made 16-6 and 17-0 on his next two attempts. Took all 3 attempts to make 17-3.5. Went for 17-7 and had the height but ran out of gas. He weighs 135lbs. and held 14-6 on all jumps today. We are ordering a set of longer poles tomorrow.

According to the USATF Officials that certified the jump, 17-3 (5.26m) was the old Jr. Class National Indoor Record. They measured before and after the jump and it was official.

Spencer is a great young man and he works his butt off! We've got a lot to work on, but I'm just really glad to see him get his confidence back.

Nice job Spencer!!

Great coaching Morry

Thanks Becca! In my excitement, I missed your post. I just hope he continues to overcome my ignorance.

Has he ever run the speed trap at Bell Athletics?

How old is Spencer and when is his birthday?

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2006 11:32 pm**

Spencer is 16 and his birthday is March 15th. That's easy for me to remember since that's also my wife's b-day. Good thing he came along or I'de forget to buy her a present.

He's never run the speed trap at Earl's, but he's pretty fast. We had him run from a shorter run last year (14 strides) and I think it really helped him develop some explosiveness. Now he's got it "gravy train" from 18 strides and is seems to have found an extra gear.

Great Job Spencer -- Quite an honor -- Hope to be able to see you jump in person some day -- Says a lot for "AVC" Congrats to you also Morry

Thanks 1yeldud1! We'll have some video footage posted soon thanks to the McCorkel family. I'm horrible with technology, but can push the "play" button with the best of them.
