WORLD CHAMPION Anderson Peters missed the last month of the season after being beaten and thrown off a party boat in mid-August. But with a pair of DL wins and the year’s best sequence of marks (4 of the 6 meets over 90m/295-3) he was an easy choice for the top spot…
HIS YEAR-LEADING 305-4 (93.07) moved him to No. 5 on the all-time list…
CURTIS THOMPSON is the first American to make the Top 10 since Breaux Greer in ’07… Peters and Thompson are linked by both having been NCAA champs for Mississippi State.
