His mark is one of the most impressive ever in any track and field event. If someone throws 70-72 feet as a prep they are great. His mark is 10%+ better. This would be like a 100m guy in high school running 9.7 or a high jumper goign 7'10"
Actually - if Carter's record is 10% better than the next best performance - then it would be like a prep high jumper going 8 ft. 5 inces. (7'7" = 91 inches, 10%+ is 9.1 to 10 inches. Hence, 8'5" - WOW!!! A Beamonesque world record!
