Best Brother-Sister Combination

Unread postby rainbowgirl28 » Thu Mar 10, 2005 9:01 pm

I saw this on the front page of Dyestat. I assume they are only talking about high schoolers, but if you know of any great combinations in college or beyond, you can post that too.

AZ Desert Vista AZ's Dutch Perryman vaulted 15-5 and his sister Jaci Perryman cleared 12-9.5 (an Arizona indoor record) at Northern Arizona U. recently. Coach Jeff Guy wants to know if any brother-sister combination has ever done better. Send email (dye@dyestat.com) if you know of any. Jack Shepard (HIGH SCHOOL TRACK publisher) reports Olympian Jan Johnson's son and daughter in Atascadero CA -- Chelsea 13-6 in 2002 (USR outdoors at the time) and Clay 15-3.75 last year -- but can't recall any better same meet, same year combination.

Both from when he is in high school and she was in high school.

Greg Woepse and Elizabeth Woepse combine for 28 feet. 15-06 and 12-06 respectively.

There was a brother/sister named Carver from Cass-Midway in Missouri in class 2A a couple of years ago. This combo won first plase in both the boys and girls division of the Missouri state H.S. track meet (not sure of their heights). This was the 1st time this feat had happened in this event at the Missouri State track meet. I met their little sister a freshman this winter at a pole vault camp and with genetics like that, there is a chance that she might also get a trip to the "Big Dance".

Not as impressive as what has already been mentioned but I coached a borther and sister combo to (14-10 boy) and (11-3 girl) = 26'-1". They are 3 years apart in age and these marks are their HS PR's.
