They went back to the school a day or so later and measured the bar from the ground. The standards were mislabeled by about 6 inches.

This is what I heard, so Jan correct us if I butchered any of that!


Wow, that is so honest of Jan to do. Way to go Jan! Not to worry though, both those kids are damn good athletes with perhaps the greatest high school coach ever, and will jump above those heights soon anyway!
