The Miles Lists: Long Jump

Tim and Bill Miles, the brothers who coach at St. John's University and Wayzata High School, respectively, have generously given Down the Backstretch the liberty to publish their comprehensive statistical lists of the best 2007 and all-time track and field performances by Minnesota High School boys. The brothers Miles began compiling these records in 1981 -- Tim deserving the lion's share of credit for the annual lists, Bill deserving the bulk of the kudos for the all-time compilation -- which are, quite frankly, a treasure trove for the statistically minded track and field fan.

In an effort to share their work with a wider audience, review last year's historically strong track season, and whet our appetites for the coming 2008 prep campaign, DtB will publish -- event by event -- the "Miles Lists" over the course of the next few weeks. We'll kick off the series today with the long jump where last year Hill-Murray's B.J. Otto came within a half an inch of breaking Von Shepard's state all-time best of 24-9 1/4

Thanks, Tim and Bill, for the lists and the effort of putting them together!
