Just thought I'd bump this thread (and alter the subject line slightly) in light of Chaunte Lowe's 6.61m/2.00m double in Kingston. Is this the best one-day HJ/LJ double ever by a woman? Some of the best heptathletes wouldn't necessarily have a good HJ/LJ double on record as those events are on separate days in a heptathlon. Hellebaut did 1.99m/6.41m indoors on the same day when she won the pentathlon at the 2008 WIC, but both of those marks are inferior to Howard's. Anyone know of any more?
I wonder if (and hope) Howard will focus a bit more on the LJ in future.
If I'm not mistaken, she was a decent sprinter in college as well. If I remember correctly, she used to sprint, hurdle and jump at he ACC champs to get points.
Chaunte scored big-time @ the 2005 ACC Indoor Champs by winning the HJ (6'2-3/4"), finishing 7th in the long jump (19'6-3/4"), and 6th in the triple jump (41'4-1/2").
