Stone's dramatic vault ends with near miss at Relays
St Francis athlete Bruce Stone vaulted to a near record during the 51st K U Interscholastic Relays. He hit the pit unconscious for about a minute, thinking he set a 32 feet 9% inches mark. Remeasurement showed 12 feet 9% inches four inches below last year's Relays record by Ottawa's Jere Potts. He attempted three more clearances but failed to beat the record.
