	HIGH JUMP
		To jump one's highest requires an ignorance of all caution, a desperate, reckless explosion upward, without regard for possible muscle or tendon strain, with no thought of an economical clearance of the bar, or any other aspect of technique.
		These jumps should be done from the standing position with emphasis placed on landing on the upper portion of the back rather than on the neck or the buttocks.
		These jumps should also be over a low height with the emphasis on going up with the back to the pit and allowing the momentum to carry the body into the pit.

		My vote is to eliminate the 50 m and standing long jump (and replace with 100 m hurdles and triple jump) and create a true track and field meet.
		No doubt the superjocks would like to see the hurdles and triple jump so as to fatten their medal collection and to prime them for the nationals competition.
		While at it, I suggest adding the standing high jump and definitely the softball throw (maybe they already have this), and give serious consideration to the egg toss (this would have to be a team event) and a mini-javelin to those 70+ athletes which will include me in 2005.
