Hartwig Discusses Masters Records and Future Plans

Unread postby rainbowgirl28 » Sun Dec 24, 2006 2:25 pm

This has been mentioned in the Masters forum, but since Hartwig is still one of the top U.S. vaulters, I thought I would plug Ken Stone's interview here as well.

I won't paste the whole thing here. You should definitely click the link and read it all. Here are a few of the highlights.

Jeff Hartwig wrote:"Tim Lobinger of Germany . . . planted a bug in my ear last year when he said that we could organize some late season meets maybe in Europe after my 40th B-day. The World Athletics Final is around Sept. 22 (in 2007), so many of the top guys will be around in Europe to cheer me on . . . . My coach, Earl Bell, holds the M40 indoor record so I don't have a big desire to break his record, but the outdoor record would be something I would shoot for."

My coach, Earl Bell, holds the M40 indoor record, so I don't have a big desire to break his record but the outdoor record would be something I would shoot for. I did however speak to Gregory Yegorov last year and he told me he turns 40 in January of '07 and would be taking shots at Earl's record (5.18, or 17-0). If he or anyone else would break Earl's record, then I will also pursue indoor meets. I have not submitted a birth certificate or any paperwork to the national office but can do so if necessary."

He is a few months younger than Hartwig.
