Just two weeks ago Gyorffy, who was Harvard's only representative at the NCAAs, tied the NCAA high jump record at the Heptagonal Championships, with a jump of 1.97 meters. At that meet, a torn shoe kept Gyorffy from attempting all of her rounds at the next highest height, and so she was stopped prematurely...
This weekend Gyorffy was looking to do what she couldn't do at Heps and break the NCAA record. However, with another stroke of bad luck, she got a cramp in her left calf as she made her first attempt at 1.90 meters. While she was disappointed not to be able to break the record, she said she was happy that she did as well as she did despite the cramp...

"I feel without the cramp I could have gotten [the record], but now it will keep me motivated for the outdoor season and make me work even harder...
...mean time, she will start training for Harvard's outdoor season after a week off. Even though the competition will be more intense outdoors, she feels she will be able to jump even higher than her record 1.97 meters outdoors this spring. She is currently planning only to compete in the triple jump for the first few meets and to start high jumping around the end of April...
...long run, creating more and more federal mandates isn't productive. Eventually people will feel the effects of their diminishing freedom. Most people don't hunt or collect guns, and so they cannot see the restrictiveness of these laws. Maybe someday people will start getting in record numbers of car accidents. Should legislators then start making car companies install devices in all cars that limits speed to 55 mph? Or rather should we hold people responsible for their own actions (gasp)? The problem isn't everybody, it's the bad drivers. Make it tougher to get a license...
