The IAAF considers marks set at high altitude as acceptable for record consideration. However, high altitude can significantly assist long jump performances. At the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, Bob Beamon broke the existing record by a margin of 55 cm (21 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), and his world record of 8.90 m (29 ft 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) stood until Mike Powell jumped 8.95 m (29 ft 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) in ...
This is a list of the NCAA Division I outdoor champions in the long jump. Measurement of the jumps was conducted in imperial distances (feet and inches) until 1975. Metrication occurred in 1976, so all subsequent championships were measured in metric distances. The women's event began in 1982.

The long jump has been part of modern Olympic competition since the inception of the Games in 1896. In 1914, Dr. Harry Eaton Stewart recommended the "running broad jump" as a standardized track and field event for women. [7] However, it was not until 1948 that the women's long jump was added to the Olympic athletics programme.
If this was just five years ago, let alone 10 or 20, the prospect of 72-year-old Bill Belichick as a college football coach would have been more about a splashy hire than the promise of great success.
