M50 McBarnette ups own American indoor HJ record
New year, same old Bruce McBarnette. On Dec. 16, Bruce -- an attorney/actor/real estate tycoon in Loudon County, Virginia -- set an M50 American indoor record in the high jump with a mark of 1.86 meters. On Sunday, he added a centimeter, making it 1.87 (6-1 1/2). The latest leap came at the same site as the previous: the Prince George's Sports and Learning Complex in Landover, Maryland. Bruce is rounding into fine shape for French indoor worlds in mid-March. He's won four world age-group titles, but his fifth isn't guaranteed because of the presence of American teammates Jim Barrineau, an Olympian and former M40 world record holder, and Peter Hlavin of Los Angeles, who went 1.80 twice last year outdoors.
