Is this the Gary Hunter who vaulted at SIU-Carbondale in the 70's?

Better check the results again - they say he got 5th at 4.85m or 15' 11"!!

That's a big oops because he definitely cleared 15-7 and stopped jumping after that.

They got him and Babits mixed up it looks like.

I was wondering how he got ahead of Paul. In Boston he told me that last summer he was regularly over 16' with good shots at 16' 6" at age 49. He credited the success to LOTS of 30s and 40s but hurt his knee by running them four days a week. He said he was on 1680s during that time. At Boston he said was on "a little 1585". In any case - WOW!!!!

Way to Go Gary, You are the Man.

When I grow up I want to be just like Gary, I wonder how old I will be when that finally happens. LOL

4.75 is my all-time PR, and I'm just a year younger than Gary . . .
