Event 2 - Long Jump - Player Announcements

announce your intentions for the 3rd and final jump of the event now...(I got Nielsen and Ginsbergs)

I will conduct the jump tomorrow around 12 EDT...if you haven't gotten your announcement in I will jump you in the average column (unless you don't currently have a distance recorded in which case I will use the conservative column)

[collegesportsfanms]

I'm debating on using an all-out here, but I'm also a little hesitant If I were to use an all-out on my 3rd jump here, how many all-out attempts would that leave me with? I'm at work and can't seem to figure it out.

[chesapeake]

Bad start. But I'm going to take a risk and put out another average effort.

[ntndeacon]

Average for palmiero

[britrock88]

Average for Bafou.

[collegesportsfanms]

I'm gonna take a chance and go all-out with Schaplowsky's 3rd jump

[JAG]

Babson will skip Jump #3

[PilotMan]

Crap.

All out is too risky at this point, but we need to try for something. Avg for the third jump for Honcho.

[BYU 14]

Chilton will skip jump 3

[Breeze]

We are coming up on the time I set to post results and I still haven't heard from quite a few players. I really don't want to proceed wtihout some guidance, and I'm sure my vacation has probably thrown some people off, so I'm going to hold off until later in the afternoon with hopes I'll get more feedback.

Still waiting on:

Ketola
Jordan
Mighty
Rambis Jr
Peltonen

And Path announced after the first jump he'd skip his last two...he can change that for the last jump if he wants, but if I don't hear, I'll have him pass...

[path12]

Path is still passing. It seemed like what I hit on my first jump is about as good as I'm going to get without going all out, so I'll just take it.

[cmp]

Ketola will skip jump 3.

Event 2 - Long Jump - 3rd Attempt Results



Nielsen – Looking to uncork a big jump, Nielsen flies down the runway…and he’s off clean – This is going to be a big one…he’s out way beyond his previous effort of 26’ 3”…the final result is a jump of 27’ 2”.

Ginsberg – again looking to improve on his pedestrian 1st jump result which currently has him in last place for anyone that has actually recorded a distance. He’s really going after this final jump – you can see the determination in his expression. He’s got good speed, nice trajectory on the jump…and he’s in the pit close to 25’…no flag so this one is going to count. It’s a good jump 24’ 11” that’ll definitely help his overall score.

Llyw – The defending champ comes into his final jump with no score…this is huge. I talked to him before this effort and he basically said, “going conservative isn’t going to win this thing…so I’m going to take my normal approach, and we’ll see how it goes.” Well…the run and jump looks good, and he ends up with a respectable result of 24’ 5”. That’s about dead on his average jump result…(by the way…on rolled a 36 for your final jump – a 32 – 35 are all fouls – thought you might be interested to know how close it was)

Palmeiro – looking to improve on his previous jump of 25’ 2”, jumps with his toe over the board and fouls on the final attempt. He’ll have to settle for that 25’ 2” distance.

Bafou – takes his 3rd attempt, but he chops off his steps right before the leap so he'd time the jump correctly, and the result is a disappointing 22’ 11” result.

Schaplowsky – Seeing his 24’ 3” result continuing to slide down the leaderboard for this event, prompted Mike to up his effort, unfortunately, that increased intensity resulted in another foul, so he doesn’t improve on his result from the first try.

Babson – Once again waves off his attempt…continuing to rest (or maybe he’s already out of gas…we’ll have to see).

Honcho – sitting on no score, but determined not to give into pressure, Honcho is approaching this like all the other attempts. He heads down the runway…jumps and puts in a good effort, but wait…the white flag is up again. He’s fouled for the 3rd time and will receive no score in this event. What a shame…(the exact opposite of Llyw...your roll was one spot from recording a legit distance)

Chilton – he passes his final attempt and will settle for this 26’ 4” result.

Ketola – elects to conserve some energy and passes his final attempt as well

Jordan – goes for his 3rd jump, and it looks like an instant replay of his first. Foul.

Mighty – gives it a go for his 3rd jump as well, and his too looks like an instant replay of his first jump. The tape comes out…and he matches his distance of 25’ 5”….

Rambis Jr. – On his 3rd attempt, it’s obvious the injury is bothering him, he make a legal jump but only manages 23’ 4”, not better than his first jump.

Peltonen – Passes on his 3rd jump (there was no way to beat the current score, and I wasn’t going to use an allout spot without instruction)

Path - also passes to end the round.

Event 2 – Long Jump – Recap


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Winners

Nielsen – He was a favorite coming in, but winning a large margin is a win for sure

Babson – Managed to finish 4th and only used 1 jump

Path – Also managed a good score in only 1 jump

Ginsberg - While finishing 10th may not seem like winning, he was arguably one of the 3 worst at this event coming in, so he greatly out performed his standard

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Losers

While we had several athletes that didn’t perform well, there were 2 clear losers in this event:

Honcho – failed to get a score in this event due to three straight fouls. If memory serves, this is the first time we’ve had this occur

Rambis Jr. – While he recorded a score, he also suffered the first injury of the meet, and this early in the event, it will greatly impact his overall score.

[chesapeake]

Close, schmose. I never doubted that I would record a score. The fact that I have been refreshing this page to see the results all afternoon is simply a reflection of my eagerness to see the magnitude of my inevitable success.

[PilotMan]

wow

fuck it, nothing but craziness to play for now. It's gonna be wild now.

Nice job with that ~ 1/32 chance to get that.

[DavidCorperial]

Really happy with that result, went over my prediction my more than a foot, really impressive.

Geez, 2 all-outs wasted already. I hope Schaplowsky picks it up in the later events

Event 3 - Shot Put - First Attempt


Honcho – Mike will go first…he makes a strong rotation and huge toss…this one is long. The measurement is in and it’s a 57’ 5” throw. That’s big…maybe competing with no pressure, allowed him to relax and execute. (This is the top throw possible in the Ave column, sorry overlooked this one in the preliminary write up. There are 6 of the 18 positive results in the allout column that are better).

Nielsen – follows Honcho’s lead and also uncorks a big first throw…his measures in a 59’ 3”. (I count 3 better results in the average column, and 12 of the 18 positive results better in the allout)

Llyw – First throw is a good one, but his toe brushed the board, so it isn’t going to count.

Bafou – Another foul…this time Bafou not only hits the board, but steps on top of it…

Ketola – After two really good throws to start off the event, we’ve now had our third straight foul. Ketola bumps the kick board hard and his throw won’t count either.

Path – It must be contagious, Path really went after his first attempt and he hit the board and ended up stepping over it onto the grass…that’s our 4th straight foul.

Babson – looking to break the run of bad luck, Babson takes his time getting set up…he spins, grunts, tosses…no flag, so this one’s going to count, and as expected, it’s going to be good. Well beyond the 2 results currently on the board. The measurement is officially 65’ 1”. (I count 10 results that are still better in the average column, and 13/18 are better in the allout).

Ginsberg – This isn’t a strong event for Ginsberg, so going after that throw from Babson could be intimidating. However, David appears to have stayed within himself, as he uncorks a throw that is a strong one based on his typical results. The distance is officially only 50’ 7”, but that’s really pretty good and probably better than he expected. (There are only 2 results better in the average column 50’ 8” on 31 and 50’ 9” on 39. In the allout 10 of 18 are better)

Schaplowsky – Form was good, but the toe brushed the white board…you can just see the scuff mark. So that is our 5th foul of the round.

Rambis Jr – Though he is hurting, Rambis clearly put everything he had into that toss…and it’s a good one measuring in at 61’…(no better result in the average colum, I count 5 of the 18 still better in the allout column)

Palmiero – Octavio, sets for his turn…twists – tosses, and it seems to have come out of his hand wrong…almost like the put rolled up into the fingers a bit causing a less than productive push. The distance is in and it is a very disappointing 53’ 9”…that is well below even his average performance in this event and you can tell he’s not happy (looks like this is the second worst possible outcome in the average column).

Jordan – Jordan’s effort ends up being very different form Palmiero…his toss is long measuring 61’ 2”. (I count only a 61’4” on 23 as being better in the ave column, and 9/18 are better in the allout)

Mighty – Mighty throws one out in the 53’ range…it’s an ok throw for him…not nearly his best, but it’s a solid start. His official score is 52’ 10” (about dead on average in the average column, all but 1 result in the allout column is better)

Peltonen – Good toss from Peltonen…not quite out there with Nielsen or Honcho, but close…official distance 56’ 4” (I only count 3 results better in the average column, but one is an improvement of almost a foot. In the allout column, I also only count 3 results better…)

Chilton – This isn’t a strong event for Chilton, so he’s hoping for a good start that might allow him to rest or take a few chances. He ends up flipping it out there 48’ 11” (I count 8 results better in average, and 13/18 better in allout)
