Felix Clears Height of 2.05 Meters in High Jump

Kurt needs to make up ground here on the rest of the world.  He passed on several heights before clearing 1.96 and has just become one of seven decathletes thus far (all are in Kurt's "A" Group) to clear 2.05.  That's 6-8 3/4, the height that Felix cleared at the NCAA Championships.

The decathletes are moving to 2.08 meters (6-9 3/4).  Kurt missed on all three attempts at this height.  One contestant (Leonel Suarez of Cuba) has already made the height and also made it at 2.11--he is the only decathlete remaining.  Felix is one of seven others with a cleared height of 2.05.
