7'2.25 HJ at Penn Relays from high school

Set state record at Penns, improved on the mark later in the season though. One really good attempt at 225. I love Penn, probably my favorite meet to compete at.

Sorry about sound, it wasn't synced after about 6'10 so I just cut it off after the intro.

I'd suggest doing some back arches while warming up. For back arches, you lie on your back, put your hands(palms down) on the ground over your shoulders, and put your feet flat against the ground, right by your rear. Then you push against the ground with your arms and legs so your torso rises into the air. That will help you to get used to arching your back.
