You're aware that my former Ohio Track Club athlete Gary Hunter vaulted 4.90 last year at age 51 aren't you? That would have put him on the list for last year.
My apologies to you for a misunderstanding that is my fault and should be noted by other readers. I failed to state that the lists I'm searching are Jalava's lists only for the 2008 outdoor season. (That's why the date of the meet in individual listings doesn't include the year, since that would remain constant at 2008.)
For that reason, I didn't find Hunter's 4.90 on this year's list. Strangely, I didn't find it on the tilastopaja list for last year, either. When I checked the world masters records at world-masters-athletics.org they didn't have it either, still listing the masters 50-54 as Hunter's (age 51) 4.75m at Orono on 4 August 2007. The 4.75, of course would not have appeared on the 2007 deep list, with its threshold of 4.90m. Do you know of any problem with the sanction or reporting of his 4.90 that would have caused its non-acceptance by the world masters association? Otherwise, if you can locate any official results for the meet, I'd be glad to send them along to Mirko for addition to his 2007 list.
