Prep expert Larry Byrne came up with this gem:
<<I'm [like all true track staticians] still pouring-over all the NIN rersults with "a fine tooth comb", especially those of my beloved adopted state Rhode Island!
Lo and behold, I've located perhaps the rarest of "doubles", not only in the two events contested, but in the exact identical measurements in both...as follows...
Bethany Power, a senior at LsSalle Academy in Providence competed in the Weight Throw on Friday [3/13], finishing 33rd with a best throw of
35-8.75 [10.89m].
Then on Saturday [3/14] she competed in the Triple Jump, finishing in 20th with a best jump of [you guessed it] 35-8.75 [10.89].
What are the odds of that ever happening...let alone in two very divergent field events?>>
