Yeah I was wondering the same thing...he wasnt even on the start list....
One other note, chris chappel of arizona was on the start list but decided not to jump at the last minute due to a sore hamstring.
I was just about to ask where chappel was and why he didnt jump. Also, i dont know about the girls side but the heights seem kinda low on the guys side.
The heights on the guys side were low I agree in comparison to maybe the big 12, but in general I would have to disagree. You are failing to take into consideration the fact that Chapel, Byers, and Tommy (one way or the other) fell out of the competition early. Each person I believe would have been forced to jump higher in the situation that these three were around for teh last couple bars. While 540 may not seem to be big, you also have to realize kim is just coming back after having his hand really beat up by a bad pole break. As for the other heights, I cannot speak for, I'm just pointing out that the depth maybe have been lacking this year, but only due to injury.
