I though Scott Roth and Jordan Scott attempted the record (17'7") at RENO. That would make three!
I would much rather work with 100% heart and 75% talent than 100% talent and 75% heart!

Three have tried this year, but Spencer attempted it before they did after he cleared 17-3 in Arkansas in January.

it doesnt matter who was first to try it..that means nothing..first to clear is all that matters and the only person who has come remotly close is roth(by that i mean pretty much cleared the bar)! he is an amazing vaulter and showed it in reno!! thats the way to do it..But mckorkel has had great attempts too! either one of them over it would be an amazing thing to see!

Roth had good clearances in Reno, but so did McCorkle, I say its pretty even. But Roth does have seniority ;)
