Spencer's 16'6" and 17' 0" jump look almost identical. It is hard to tell them apart!

It's probably just a low frame rate which makes it look like that. Going 17+ in HS means you are pretty darn fast though!

No clue on the "6" step, but his "4" step mid is 36-0. His grip was 14'6" on all his vaults that day.

A 14'7" grip is a 49' 6-step mid & around a 36'6" 4-step mid. Since he's short, 36' is probably on the money.
