Dr. William K. Bell  (2005)

Now in his 80’s, Dr. Bell has broken several age-group world records, one being his 9’1/4" clearance at the USA Masters in Boston. Since Boston, he has cleared 9’3", and looks like 9’6" is well within reach. His event personal records of 12.5 in the 100 m and 11’10’ in the pole vault were both set at the age of 50. Bell has participated actively and has won numerous events in the Arkansas Senior Olympics.
