The USATF website is wrong Jack just told me he only went 5.10 not 5.25 still a great jump and congrats.

[Tim McMichael]

It's been a lot of fun coaching Jack this season. He has really worked hard. He even overcame the dreaded "I can't plants" in the middle of outdoors. I'm really proud of him.

There was a jump off for 1rst at 5.10 between three jumpers, Jack cleared it the other two did not, By rule no pr attempt was given, The video will be on you-tube later in the week. He had a foot on the jump, to bad the bar was not at 5.25 maybe next year.

The official results are off. The top three made 16'8" and Jack won it in a jump off at that height.

[kev44000]

The only mark not right was Jack's, the others are right. His mark should have been 5.10 not 5.25. The others were 4.95. The jump off was at 5.10 Jack made it they did not.
