That's definitely Rick Attig's hair in the foreground! Didn't see the jump and from the looks of it, I'm glad I didn't! There was some scary jumping going on all day - I "heard" at least 5 guys land on the box and 3 or 4 hit the standards.

Ha that is me in the first Picture.............I did break a cross bar at that meet, it shouldn't have landed under my feet, it was it's fault.

I am actually a decathalete and you think it hurts when you land on the bar polevault, for some strange reason it hurts like 10 times worse High Jumping.

no simple physics and my brain tells me landing on a crossbar from 16 feet hurts more than falling on one from 6 feet
