Jan, It must be genetic in your family. Is it a birth thing with the Johnson's... :dazed: When they pop out they get a pole. LOL You are "THE MAN" Jan! :yes:

I hear that Alex Bubka, son of Vasily Bubka, jumped 5.40 recently. What was Vasily's PR? 5.85?

5.86. Pretty good guess for a young 'un. :P

He has the honor of being the first to jump 5.80 and lose...to his brother obviously.

I jumped 15' a couple of times in high school. My son Jonathan just went 15' yesterday. However, he still has 2 more years of high school. By the way, does anyone know the Mississippi state record?
