Walt Murphy that Stacy requested a new height of 4.71m. She missed the
height twice, then cleared on her third attempt. Again according to Murphy,
the height was first announced as 4.71, then, after re-measurement, as
4.70. Whoa: I'm confused. Why was there a re-measurement? I thought that no
longer was a part of the rule on record certification. >>
Roger,
You're adding to the confusion by misreading my attempt to "un-confuse"
the original confusing situation. Stacy had requested that the bar be set
at4.71, but, according to an official in Pocatello, the bar was actually set
at 4.70 BEFORE she cleared the record height. There was no remeasurement
after the clearance.
Regards,
Walt Murphy

series of marks this year)
