...most heartwarming heroics of all were performed at the Sacramento Invitational by Pole Vaulter John Pennel. With both legs bandaged to protect painful shin splints, Pennel cleared the bar on his second attempt at 17 ft. 10¼ - a new world mark by Win. It was the ninth time that Pennel has broken the world record in a career plagued by injuries and hard luck. He went into the 1964 Olympics with a wrenched back and finished eleventh.
