He was my older brother generation, but I remember running track with the same club as him when I was younger. The track club was Quicksilver in Atlanta near Ben Hill, iykyk. He was more of a distance runner/hurdler back then if I remember correctly, but it’s nice to see him make it this far.

Why is this so complex, why cant it just be jump before this line?

[@donovanyoung9996]

Cause you're never supposed to look down at it and you're run up is designed to get you as close as possible without fouling. Sometimes a small mistake in their run up can make a large difference
