USA Nationals - Men

[zack]

After watching the clips on Neovault it looked like Hartwig's winning jump really wasn't that great on top- at least compared to when he has jumped around 6m. Hopefully that is a good thing and he peaks later this summer in Europe and at Worlds. Miles is also looking more like Hartwig on the runway.

Did anyone catch this one out of the 2003 USATF rules??

9. On an experimental basis through 2004, in the high jump or pole vault, non-championship competition may be conducted using a “fixed number of attemptsâ€Â

Did anyone catch this one out of the 2003 USATF rules??

9. On an experimental basis through 2004, in the high jump or pole vault, non-championship competition may be conducted using a ?fixed number of attempts? format. Each competitor will be entitled to a fixed number of total attempts during the competition, but a competitor shall in any event be eliminated after three consecutive misses. Such experimental competition shall be held only upon the determination of the Games Committee and the publication of this determination prior to the meet.



SCIENCE GONE WRONG!!!

I think I saw that in my 2002 rule book... I have never heard of anybody actually doing it though.

We attended an invitational meet (high school) where this rule was used. First time for me. While I would not like it on a regular basis, It did force me to make my guys open at higher heights than my normally conservative self would have allowed otherwise.
