US finalist Joe Kindred

Event Summary: It is always amazing how the truly great athletes can rise to the occasion. Hiaqiang Huang of China won this event, in front of the home crowd, on the final jump of the competition. His winning jump was 7-7.25, a personal best by almost 2 inches. Had he not cleared that height, Niki Palli of Israel would have been the winner. Palli jumped 7-6 for second, and Bohdan Bondarenko of Ukraine had a personal best of 7-5 to take the silver. Joe Kindred (St. Augustine's) jumped 7-0.5 to finish 8th.
