The piece questions whether Helena athlete Prosser broke the Montana state vault record last Thursday at the Interscholastic meet in Missouri. It notes the old record by Charles McAuliffe of Butte, the misprint in 1916, and suggests Prosser tied rather than surpassed 11 feet 4 inches, due to measurement methods.
