EVENT 2 - LONG JUMP - FIRST ATTEMPT


Pflaggstettler - he flys down the runway, hits the board and launches himself. The final measurement is - 24' 11" (only a couple results better in the column)

Lesgettham - heads down the runway, but has to look down and chopstep to hit the board, costing him speed and ultimately distance - final result a disappointing - 21' 7" (the worst possible outcome in the column)

Yellope - get a nice first attempt in, when he hits the pit it appears he's close to Pflaggstettlers jump, but then I realize he's a bit short of that - 24' 2"

Palmer
- after his poor 100 Deacon is looking to get back in it, but his over-aggressive attempt results in a foul.

Mighty - his toe is just past the launching board and he ends up with a foul.

Gonzalez - the man known to jump creeks in an effort to enter the US, gets a nice 23' 4" number to work off of.

Mello - he flys down the runway, but looks down to hit the board, resulting in a 22' 5" distance. Disappointing but atleast he has a score with 2 jumps to go. (terrible roll, only a couple of successful outcomes that are shorter in the column)

Babson - he hits the board and flys into the pit, it's a nice jump, but when he turns around he sees the white flag raised - foul. I think he might have gotten the jump in if he hadn't tried to do it with his fingers crossed.

Ivanov - the Russian is clearly over the board when he plants, and he realizes he's fouled so he almost walks out of the attempt.

Eckberg - a solid 23' 10" first jump.

Elli - Foul

Nights - 22' 2" result is very disappointing (there is only 1 successful roll in the column worse than this one)
