The track meet was a CIF qualifier held at Chaffey High School (1966)  I have no idea what the bar was set at.  The pit was one of those "Cloud-Nine Air Pits".  A generator pumped air into it and kept it  afloat. There was a foam pad on the top so the vaulters couldn't puncture it with their spikes.  The advantage was that after the meet you could  just unplug it and the pit would deflate and you could roll it up and carry it into the shed.  The disadvantage was if you landed on a corner it would spring you like a trampoline off onto the grass or track.  Air pits have gone the way of the dinosaur.
