EVENT 2 - LONG JUMP - Second Attempt

Pflaggstettler - he sprints down the runway, hits the board and launches himself into the pit. He lands right about the same spot as his last attempt. The final measurement puts him at 24' 7" - 4" short of jump 1.

Lesgettham - toe is over the jump board - foul.

Yellope - his second jump is in about the same spot as his first. The tape is pulled and he actually gained a couple inches. 24' 4"

Palmer - coming off a foul, Palmer was obviously going to make sure to get a score. The conservative attempt resulted in a 22' 3" distance. (note: that appears to be as good as he can do in the conservative column)

Mighty - also coming off a foul, Might elects to roll the dice and go for a decent jump, and it pays off 24' 6".

Gonzalez - he had a decent first jump, the second one appears to be better at take off, and in fact it is - almost exactly a foot better. 24' 3".

Mello - had a poor first jump, and the second one won't improve anything, because he fouls.

Babson - coming off a foul, Babson needs to get a good score, he runs down the track, hits the board, jumps in the air, and SCREAMS IN PAIN. He lands in a heap in the sand. After a few moments to gather himself, he limps out of the pit and heads to the training room with his hand on his right hamstring. To make matters worse the white foul flag is raised.

Kappe - definately has better form on his second attempt - he reaches 25' 2".

Ivanov - needs to get a good jump in after a foul on jump 1. He jumps a little in front of the board to assure he doesn't foul, but he still gets a 23' 11" distance.

Eckberg - 22' 11" - shorter than jump 1 by about a foot.

Gunner - Foul

Elli - Foul - that makes 2 for Elli - 1 jump left to record a score.

Cat - Fouls so he still stuck with a 19' 3" effort

Nights - the jump is obviously better from the start - he sails past the 22' mark, where is initial jump measured and he comes down 25' 6".
