I never thought that record would be broken, but Terry has been more than capable. He's ageless at 70. We should all be so lucky. Congrats Terry!! Bubba

He really is ageless. I would have guessed he was in his 60s.

Good point Becca. I saw him nearly make 12' 6" in his 60s at UC Irvine. Then I had breakfast with him in Hawaii at USATF Masters in 2005 and he didn’t look any different than he did at Irvine seven years earlier. Fantastic guy too. Bubba

Congratulations Terry, I knew my coaching would pay off now we have 2 world record holders in our club.

Wow...thanks folks. Now i need to concentrate on getting upside
down like all of you do instead of my patented 60 percent angle.
More work to do! -terry

Champ,

Congratulations, on your great jumps, your technique looks very good. I used to jump with Terry for years in San Diego. He has great technique with a great run and takeoff, plus I really enjoyed jumping with him. Terry was also a multiple national champion in the 300 hurdles. He did not start pole vaulting until he was 55 years old (incredible). After his 12’6â€
