Don't know. I wonder if Corey would be a true world class jumper by now if not for all the bad luck (injuries).

Don't know. I wonder if Corey would be a true world class jumper by now if not for all the bad luck (injuries).

Not that you can compare the two, based on different venues, different weather conditions, etc, but at the 2012 olympics, a 7.93m would be the 12th best distance in prelims (top 12 move on to the finals), and would tie for the eighth best distance in the finals.

As far as the trials. I'm not quite sure how the olympic qualifiers work, but the USA Track and Field website says that jumps between May 1st, 2015 and June 26th 2016 outdoors and from Jan 1st 2015 to June 26th 2016 indoors are used for invitations to the olympic trials, and college events that meet USATF minimums count (I'm assuming the B10 championships and NCAAs would), but jumps with winds over 2.0 m/s are discarded, and his jump wind is listed at 3.4 m/s. Consequently, I don't think these jumps count, but he is definitely capable of not only making the trials but making the team as well. I'm not sure what other jumps he has that meet criteria over the past year and a half are, but some of his jumps from the past year and a half might have him in a good position either way.

 

[Fishky]

Awesome job I am thinking bigger things may be ahead for him too.

 

[silent willie]

He is not making the team. There are too many consistent guys that would have to bomb out. And for those that don't know, you can win the USA trials and not go to the games if you don't hit the Olympic "A" standard. That rarely happens, though, because we have such a good track team. The "A" is 8.15 meters which I don't think he has hit. Pretty sure that monster jump from indoors was too long ago. Not sure about that, though.

Ummm he jumped further than his winter number yesterday 26.0 7.93m

 

[silent willie]

Ummm I was talking about this one:

- Indoor Long Jump - 26'11 ¾ " (8.22m)

It is from 2014, so wouldn't count towards the A standard to get into the Olympics.

Umm well thanks for clarifyimg there is an indoor jump from 16 on the list i assume we were supposed to guess you were refering to a jump in 2014, thanks for the details.
