How have the numbers progressed at the 16-, 17- and 18-foot barriers since the first 16-footer way back in 1964? Check out this informative charting by our High School
Editor, Jack Shepard.
For the 16-foot and 17-foot levels, the first column is number of outdoor performers making that barrier, with a +ind column indicating those who did it indoors but not out. No one has ever topped 18 indoors, so only the single column is required for that barrier.Here’s the numbers (obviously, the 2014 season is very much a work in progress, with marks as of 04 April):
