Thanks for the info on Bubka. I obviously didn't remember 2nd place being that far back.

"Vladimir Polyakov (talk about relatively obscure WR setters!) had 51 in his 5.81."

Who dat?

The SECOND guy over 19' - not that Imperial marks count for ANYTHING!!!

In Bubka's WR 6.05 (19-10 1/4) 2nd was 5.40 (17-8 1/2). 65cm, compared to Skipper's 50. Bubka also had a 50 in his 5.90.

Vladimir Polyakov (talk about relatively obscure WR setters!) had 51 in his 5.81.

Dutch Warmerdam had 61 in his 4.72.

Skipper

19' 1/4" was great for Skipper and the U fo O fans as this was his last official jump as a "Duck" at Hayward Field. Yes, I'm sure we will continue to see him jump at Hayward Field, but 19+ jump was a great memory for the U of O fans.

Beamonesque.

Not the height (though it's a nice PR for Tommy), but the margin of victory.

2nd place was 17-5. :shock:

Reminds me of the Wariner thread last year when he ran 43.62. Has anyone ever vaulted 19 ft and won by nearly two feet? I don't have (or remember) the data from Bubka's WRs, but I'd be surprised if he ever won by this much.

Skipper's truly a man among boys out West.
