Looks like the list omitted the marks for Jason Colwick and Paul Litchfield. Both jumped 5.51m which puts them ahead of Victor Weirich.

It's not a performance list, they are rankings based mostly on head-to-head competitions and how you perform at Championships. Brad was lucky to be as high as 4th.

I cannot imagine that Brad feels lucky. He's better than that. 4th ranked USA is does not make him feel good. I bet that he will climb much higher in 2012.

Well no, I wouldn't expect he would feel good about it. Just saying that the rankers don't put much weight on insignificant meets at your training center, and in most other years, a record like he had outside the training center would have ranked him even lower. It was a very down year for the USA Men overall.

I'm hoping Brad will have a big year next year and get gold in London! He's definitely capable of it!
