Christian Taylor with a massive 16.67 to move to #5 all-time US Junior (and the lead here!)

[gm]

And Will Claye 16.56! Two great US juniors in action...

[gm]

Claye goes 16.80 on the penultimate jump, then..... TAYLOR!!! 16.98!!!

If I am reading correctly, Taylor sets a US Junior record, while Claye moves to =3 a-T USJr

wow... and on a regular, non-elevated runway

[gh]

USATF (unlike the IAAF, or records recognized by T&FN) won't ratify it as an AJR, because there's a roof overhead. 19th-century thinking lives!

Taylor - a true freshman USAian! Yay for the new American 3-bouncer hope!

Claye is an even TRUER freshman, given that he graduated in December from high school and should by all rights still be prepping for the prom

[eldrick]

aren't there separate AJRi & out ?

if not, you can't have encapsulating ones'

16.98i doesn't = a ?16.97 ( - 1.5 )

[gm]

There is no such thing as an indoor AJR.

[eldrick]

no reason why ???

we got ford 6.52iAJR

It's not a recognized category of records. There are no official IAAF World Indoor Junior Records either. WJR's and AJR's may be listed as such by T&FN and others, but they're not official records.

if they're junior & they ran indoors & iaaf listed them on their indoor overall list ( as an AJRi woud inevitably be good enough to get on ) that's good enough provenance

You just contradicted yourself. If the 'Bible of the Sport' beatifies them as records - they BE records! :twisted:
