EVENT 2 - LONG JUMP - Third Attempt

Pflaggstettler - fouls on the 3rd attempt

Lesgettham - sitting on a poor distance of 21' 7" - Darius needs a good 3rd attempt. His approach and take off look good and the result is clearly better than 21'. The final measurement is 25' 4". That's a clutch attempt - moving him from the bottom of the event standings to the top section.

Yellope - foul

Palmer
- works hard on teh 3rd attempt, but he can't better a pretty poor 22' 3" effort. 3rd jump = 21' 6"

Mighty - Passes (1 passed attempt in shot putt earns an extra high jump attempt without fatigue)

Gonzalez - his 3rd attempt is good, it appears to be better than the 2nd one, which was pretty good too. The distance is 24' 11". (King - good thing you decided to go back to normal - aggressive would have resulted in an injury)

Mello - one of the best long jumpers in the event, he's currently sitting on a pathetic 22' 5" distance. His 3rd and final attempt is also a foul.

Babson - the injury and the fact the he doesn't currently have a good jump forces Brian to be ultra-conservative on the final attempt. Under the circumstances a 23' 1" result is pretty good.

Kappe - a good jump, but not better than the second attempt - 24' 6"

Ivanov - fouls

Eckberg - fouls

Soldier - trying to better 22' 2", Soldier hits the board flies into the pit and comes out with a limp. Apparently he turned an ankle or knee on the landing. Attempt is a foul.

Gunner - Successful jump, but it's clearly shorter than his 24' 11" first attempt. They were obligated to measure the attempt and it was 23' 11"

Elli - needs a good score to get points in the event - settles for 22' 3"

Cat - fouls and has to settle for 19' 3"

Nights - Pass
(see Mighty)
