Hartwig loses his vault AR but lifts his M40 world record
Jeff Hartwig watched fellow American Brad Walker erase his American record in the vault today at the Pre Classic in Eugene. (Brad topped 19-9 3/4). “He came up and gave me a big hug,” Walker said of Hartwig in the Portland Oregonian. “He said it was some of the best jumping he had ever seen me take. That means a lot from a guy who has jumped with Sergey Bubka.” But Jeff still had a good day, upping his own M40 world outdoor record to 5.60 meters (18-4 1/2). M35 Derek Miles was second at 5.80 (19-0 1/2) — short of Jeff’s listed WR of 5.86.
