110H -- 0.099, not 0.999, the latter being nearly a second.

Pole vault: Scary event when one's high school daughter is doing it and achieving reasonable heights (won districts one year). Her other events were less nerve-racking (400 flat, 400H, 4x400). She was doing track just as training for basketball! In college she switched to Ultimate and this weekend is representing the U.S. club champions at the World Ultimate Club Championships https://www.wucc.sport/Default. Turned out that Ultimate may be more dangerous than pole vault - she has had an ACL repair, several shoulder dislocations and I think also concussion!

Anecdote from my most frequent Sunday running partner, whose daughter was a team-mate of my daughter back when they were in college. Mark was watching his daughter play and one of the other spectators asked him which one was his daughter. He replied "The blonde one with a ponytail" and then realized that that description applied to almost the whole team.
