Old-Style Vault Mark Shortlived
Ralph Norris recalls a 57 year old world pole vault record of 11 feet 4 1/2 inches set on an 11 pound ash pole. The mark lasted minutes before Illinois teammate Sidney Greer cleared 11 7. Norris notes fiber glass poles changed the event and cites 1907 record by Leroy Samse as the true world mark. Norris remains best known for a 12 foot 9 4 inch effort not recognized by the AAU. He later settled in Terry after homesteading, with a lifelong interest in agriculture.
