Scoreboard

P: In hushed Madison Square Garden, lithe (6 ft. 5 1/4 in., 190 lbs.) High Jumper John Thomas, 18, loped forward, kicked his right leg at the roof and rolled over the bar at 7 ft. 1 1/2 in. to make the mightiest leap in history (indoor or out) and break his own record by 1/4 in.

P: Trailing after the formal, compulsory figures, Ohio's little (5 ft. 6 in., 135 lbs.) Dave Jenkins, 23, put on a stunning display of acrobatic, free-figure skating to win his fourth national championship in Seattle, seemed to have recovered completely from a gashed leg suffered last summer. With New York City's dimpled Carol Heiss, 20, who also won her fourth national title, Jenkins makes U.S. figure skaters solid favorites to take gold medals in the Winter Olympics.
