Mike Morrison 17-6.5

Unread postby moknows » Sat May 27, 2006 6:57 pm

Mike Morrison broke Lawrence Johnson's Great Bridge HS & Eastern region meet record today when he jumped 17-6.5 (old record was 17-6 from 1994). His progression was 16-0, 16-8, 17-6.5, all on 1st attempts. He then had two good attempts at 18-0.5. He opted not to compete in the hurdles or other jumping events in order to go for the record, and it paid off. Great Bridge also won the team championship!

Photo of 17-6.5 jump is available at http://www.milesplit.com/article/9851 but access to video requires a subscription. Video is excellent and includes all six jumps.
