Syd Finch PR's(?)

From the LIndenwood Last Chance:

Thomas, Donald Lindenwood Unive 2.15m 7-04.00

If I'm not mistaken, isn't that his first improvement on the indoor 7'3.5"?
Becca aren't you supposed to keep us up to date on this guy?


Did he jump in loafers this time? Or was it clogs? Ugg boots?

Bad conversion. 2.15m = 7 feet 1/2 inch.

I wondered about that myself...but here's a larger clip from the results...

2.25 is 7.382=7' 4.5", while 2.24 is 7.349=7'4.0" (with rounding down); the first seems more likely an error (2.15 vs 2.25, plus the same as the jumper below), while that latter is the 7'4" conversion. However, I believe that Becca has said elsewhere that he was completely clean through 7'4" and only missed at 7'6". In addition, with 3 cm increments you get to 2.24/7'4" (although he was the sole remaining jumper and could have selected a height at that level). He also wore spikes for thw whole competition rather than changing to flats for he last few heights.
