Weia Reinboud aces stats: women’s high jump record progression

Weia provided this portrait for 2002 Q&A.

Weia Reinboud of Holland has updated the Wikipedia records progression page for masters women’s high jump. She’s in it, of course. But as she looks toward turning 65 in six weeks, she’s doing more for the sport than setting records. Along with Andy Hecker, doing similar work, Weia combined the high jump into one file, “and I hope Andy agrees in this approach. I had quite a lot of additions. But to have it complete is difficult. Many record holders come to their age-group record in two or three steps and mostly only the last one can be found.” She says she’s trying to fill in the gaps, “but I fear this is everything that can be found.” She invites others to add data, especially the yellow rows.

Example is the W60 records progression, which includes Weia's WRs.

    To be clear: those progressions are mostly Andy’s work!

    An Italian statistician, Luigi Fasolato, has provided me with many additions! Also some of jumpers of the 90’s who I had never heard of. So the list will be close to complete, only one US and one CAN result with not all data filled in.
