2 foot PR in one meet

Moore Relays, came into the meet a 14'6" guy and left on top of the country, at 16'6" Jr year of high school also the first meet I vaulted on a 15' pole.

Kurt Hanna has the all-time best jump from 5.00m to 5.50m in ONE day! I don't remember what year it was, but the meet was in Abilene. It was unbelivable.

freshman year overall went from 10' my first meet to 14'.....that year went from 12'6" to 14' in one meet....

more recently, in a matter of 3 meets, went from 16' 8 3/4" to 17' 6 1/2"
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

I can attest to that - it was in my back yard! And no, it wasn't a bungee, the standards are not off, but yes, the runway might be just a tad downhill...oh well, keep working Geoff, you're due for a big one!
