Hartwig ups age-39 best to 19-1 1/2 in Mexico meet
Jeff Hartwig, closing in on 40, vaulted a season best 5.83 (19-1 1/2) Saturday in Veracruz, Mexico. The IAAF reports: “The 1999 World Indoor Championships silver medallist cleared a season’s best of 5.83 to win a duel with local favorite Giovanni Lanaro ( 5.73), who took the CAC and Mexican record to 5.82 three weeks earlier. USA’s 2000 Olympic champion Nick Hysong (5.53) and Robinson Pratt (5.53) shared the third stop, the same height of USA’s Daniel Ryland ( 5.53).” Jeff’s jump is equivalent to 20-10 1/2 on the Age-Graded Tables. He’s the No. 4 vaulter in the world this season. Keep it up, Jeff!
