Larry Jessee’s M40 ‘record’ to fall Sunday in Japan
Jeff Hartwig of Arkansas, writing today — his 40th birthday, reports: “I am on my way home from Europe. The World Athletics Final went well, but I should note we had near perfect conditions for jumping. Originally Earl (Bell) was going to set something up in Jonesboro for the weekend, but now I have a chance to go to Yokohama for the last meet of the season with men’s pole vault — so off to Japan I go. The meet is Sunday. Should be fun. I am looking forward to it.” As are we. Go Jeff!

Ken,
Several times you’ve used “quotes” to refer to Larry Jessee’s record. Did he cheat in setting this record? Is there some question whether he actually cleared the height? What exactly is your objection?
This has been discussed a little on Pole Vault Power message boards. Here is a link that provides some insight.
