World Championships A Standard for Hooker
But Hooker - the son of a Commonwealth Games 800m finalist (father, Bill) and a Long Jump silver medallist (mother, Erica) - showed that competitive temperament is in his genes.
In calm but cool night conditions, Hooker started with Markov at 5.50m while Burgess came in at 5.60m, the only height he would clear on this occasion.
Hooker and Markov passed through to 5.75m which Hooker cleared and Markov missed. Burgess passed through to 5.80m and missed his three attempts.
“Maybe I wanted it too much,â€Â
