Eric Eshbach gripped 15'1" when he cleared the HS national record of 18'2 1/4". That's 45 1/4 inches. Not too shabby.

Held 15'9 to make 18'2=37inch push

At a meet one time I cleared 18'4 but the official bumped it off and they called a miss on me. I was holding 15'5 or so, so that would have been a 43 inch push.
Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties.
