Fiberglass Poles Boost 17-Foot Vault Hopes for Morris
Ron Morris, the 16-foot barrier breaker, credits new fibre glass poles for pushing vaulting goals toward 17 feet. The AAU champion at 15 feet 8 inches and 16 feet 1.25 inches last year, Morris switched from metal six weeks ago and aims to test his gear against Poles and Russians at Stanford. Also in field reports, Al Oerter chases 200 and 202 feet throws, while Jim Beatty reflects on his near-miss 3:57.0 mile before facing Eastern rivals.
