Jumpers — scores of them — leap into our latest photo gallery

Kathy Bergen’s W70 world record (below) was a highlight of masters nationals (and with her AR in the 200 should have made her USATF Athlete of the Week). But she was far from being the only jumping star at Sacramento. See our new gallery, devoted to folks who go high and long. Wife Chris did the heavy lifting here, preparing hundreds of shots. (She took the vast majority of vault fotos as well.) I’m especially proud of her series on John Altendorf, the helmeted star. Also see Olympians Tiombe Hurd and Willie Banks. Hurdlers (including steeplechase) and banquet shots still coming.

    Nice, but who’s who…

    Great to see some steeplechase shots are on their way. USATF’s gallery had exactly zero pics from the M30-49 race. Can’t wait…

    Is there any facility for allowing the public to label or name the pictures for you?

    Hi, Weia. Sorry we couldn’t provide caption information on who is in all the photos. But if you want the name of a specific subject, just email me, and I’ll look up the athlete.

    What fun, looking at all the photos,
    it looks as if everybody – one way or another –
    is captured.

    MY HJ shot is a proof for the ortho.surgeon, who told me NEVER to land on my shoulders again. Well, here is the proof, I am landing on my BUTT.

    Thanks for the unbelievable effort.

    Sorry for the late reply but I do want to thank Chris for taking the photos of me vaulting. There are very few of them, and these are among the best!
