caption: - Height: This event is exactly as named, a 56, 42 or 28 lb. weight (depending on class) is tossed up and over a horizontal bar. The athlete can only use one hand and has 3 attempts at each height to clear the bar. Standing or Spinning (depending on local rules) are allowed. The 56 lb weight is often referred to as ``the widow maker''. Crowd cheering and noise are critical to the athlete getting pumped up for big heights. It's often said, the worst thing you can say to an athlete is ``you had the height.''
