Bell Athletics, Jonesboro, AR

What a show! I was excited that all of my AVC kids got to witness Jeff Hartwig make 19'02.25" on his first attempt and then a little while later, in the female competition, see Andree' Pickens vault 14'09" on her first attempt.

Someone from Bell's will have to give the breakdown of height increments, but Jeff also made 19'00.25" on his first attempt and Andree' had an earlier jump of 14'07".

To put a little context in this: The bar was almost undoubtedly set at 5.85m for this English equivalent. This increases Hartwig's seasonal best by two centimeters and is bettered only by Brad Walker (5.95), Paul Burgess (5.91) and Steve Hooker (5.91). Of these three, Burgess is the oldest, at 27. Jeff will be 40 in September!!

Oh no!... It appears I was feed some bad information from what I had thought was a very reliable source.
Oh my, Andree will probably kill me the next time we happen to meet.
