Casey Carrigan Biography

Casey Carrigan is one of the most popular and richest Athletics Competitor who was born on February 4, 1951 in Puyallup, Washington, United States. Casey O. Carrigan (born February 4, 1951 in Puyallup, Washington) is an American track and field athlete. He was the American high school record holder in the pole vault while at Orting High School. He qualified for the 1968 United States Olympic Trials. In 1968 there was a semi- Olympic trials required to make the final. In that meet, Carrigan finished in a non-qualifying seventh place, only jumping 4.87 m (15 ft 11 ⁄2 in). But seventh place was enough to get into the finals. In the finals, he jumped 5.18 m (16 ft 11 ⁄4 in) on his first attempt, putting him into solid second place behind John Pennel, ahead of Bob Seagren and Dick Railsback both of whom cleared it on their second attempt. Seagren continued on to jump a new World Record of 5.41 m (17 ft 8 ⁄4 in), but all the others were unable to make the next height. Carrigan had qualified for the Olympics in the pole vault while still in high school. At the Olympics, Carrigan was only able to clear 4.60, finishing twelfth in his qualifying group and not advancing. After clearing his opening height he passed to 4.90, the height required to advance. After missing his first two attempts, he cleared the third attempt by a foot and a half (the first 18-foot vault occurred two years later), what he considered the best vault of his life, but the officials ruled his pole broke the plane of the bar, a violation at the time.
