It is good to see Murray getting back over 13'6" again. About 2 years ago he was not jumping because of an injury. "Sciatic nerve" I think he said. Anyway, one day he shows up at a meet with his poles and warms up but looks really stiff. When the meet started he actually jumped well...
The bar was at 12' and he was on the runway getting ready to jump when he called me over and asked if I could hand him his pole. He had dropped it and was in too much pain to pick it up off the ground. He physically could not reach down and pick up a pole off the ground. I asked him how he planned to run, take off and clear a bar if he couldn't even pick up his pole. He just said "that's the easy part."
