          I don't think the Ecches and Manys are too worried.

            Were the conditions poor for long jumping? 8.12 with a 1.1 following wind seems a bit "meh" (as Atticus mentioned) for a WC Trials competition.

            I checked Wikipedia, and Carl Lewis jumped 8.13 (26' 8") shortly after graduating from high school.

                While this competition would be of an impressive quality for the national championships of any other country, I can't remember a men's LJ in a US trials of a lower level.

                    That was a non-Olympic and Worlds year so not a trial.

                      Funny thing is Henderson has the longest jump of the year. Possibly saddest thing, too.

                          Do you guys remember awhile back when Carl Lewis addressed this very subject and a lot of people got upset with him??

                            Not to beat a dead horse here, but Marquis Goodwin, has career earnings just from playing football, of around $25 million plus another million for being the fastest at 40 yards. Put together the combine earnings of all the long jumpers in the world and maybe you get to about 20% of that, and he's not even a top 60 wide receiver.

                            Point being, If I'm a 16 year old fast, athletic, american male, and I can choose between football and long jump or any event in T&F, it's a no brainer. The fact that America has the level of talent it does in the sprints and jumps is amazing at this point, considering the alternatives.

                              Speaking of Goodwin, I believe he mentioned that he will be trying to make the US team for Tokyo.
