And 959 in THE MEET.

I was backstage at this 2001 meet working with my friend and protege Jeff Stanley in his first Nationals when Ed broke the 2400 barrier at 220. Ed missed his next attempt 972 on balance forward on his third or the total would have been higher. To say it was an amazing performance is to seriously understate the importance of it.




Ed pulled 903 on his second at this meet before pulling 925 to his knees so fast I almost missed it before he ran out of gas! 925!!! At 220!!!Had he gone 9 for 9 he would have totaled 2440.
