He has them close, but not below 30...a lot of the times someone will bring up some question of whether the standards were installed correctly for the meet once it gets to the higher heights.

I was working the Meet of Champions at Hughes last year and we had to work on the standards forever because they had to be adjusted to be completely horizontal...and then later on to ensure that the correct height was being measured (yes, we did do the regular measurement technique, but the set-up was such that one standard was 5.25 inches below the other or something, so you had to add it up differently and even though the standards were at different settings, the height was even across). Then they thought that one was leaning inwards, etc.

Ugh..don't like Sac City too much. Ask Wilson about it (that's where I met him :yes: ).
