As you see, despite the number of meets, I was NEVER a hot shot.
A quarter of those meets were held indoor and I believe I have 85 meets in the USA. ( from 1963 on)
My best in the USA were 4.42m (14'6") in Portland and Bellingham… in the sixties.
Best annual performances were: In metric. i = indoor.
