What is the junior (junior as in grade 11) boys indoor record?

[AVC Coach]

Here's the scoop. I posted this thread using a cell phone while in Fayetteville, so details would have been hard to write with those little buttons.

Spencer opened at 15-6 and blew through with the standards burried. Went up poles and made it and 16-0 on his next two attempts, almost blowing through at 16-0. Went up poles again (14-9 190lbs.) and made 16-6 and 17-0 on his next two attempts. Took all 3 attempts to make 17-3.5. Went for 17-7 and had the height but ran out of gas. He weighs 135lbs. and held 14-6 on all jumps today. We are ordering a set of longer poles tomorrow.

According to the USATF Officials that certified the jump, 17-3 (5.26m) was the old Jr. Class National Indoor Record. They measured before and after the jump and it was official.

Spencer is a great young man and he works his butt off! We've got a lot to work on, but I'm just really glad to see him get his confidence back.

Nice job Spencer!!

Great coaching Morry

Thanks Becca! In my excitement, I missed your post. I just hope he continues to overcome my ignorance.

[rainbowgirl28]

Has he ever run the speed trap at Bell Athletics?

[rainbowgirl28]

How old is Spencer and when is his birthday?

[AVC Coach]

Spencer is 16 and his birthday is March 15th. That's easy for me to remember since that's also my wife's b-day. Good thing he came along or I'de forget to buy her a present.

He's never run the speed trap at Earl's, but he's pretty fast. We had him run from a shorter run last year (14 strides) and I think it really helped him develop some explosiveness. Now he's got it "gravy train" from 18 strides and is seems to have found an extra gear.

Great Job Spencer -- Quite an honor -- Hope to be able to see you jump in person some day -- Says a lot for "AVC" Congrats to you also Morry

[AVC Coach]

Thanks 1yeldud1! We'll have some video footage posted soon thanks to the McCorkel family. I'm horrible with technology, but can push the "play" button with the best of them.
