He is credited with developing a technique called a forerunner to the western roll, a technique he developed due to the layout of his backyard where he practiced which was considered "backward" at the time. While on the track team at Stanford University, his technique was corrected to the more conventional jumping style of the time. He equalled the NCAA record in the event at 6' 4" as a sophomore. His junior year, 1912, he reverted to his old style, improving to 6' 4 3/4" and then a world record 6' 6 1/8". A few weeks later at the Olympic Trials, he improved again to jump 6' 7" making him the first man to break the {{convert|2|m|1}} barrier. It was the first high jump world record ratified by the IAAF. He never improved upon his record, which stood for two years.[1] BiographyHorine was born in Escondido, California and died in Modesto, California. Horine competed for the United States at the 1912 Summer Olympics held in Stockholm, Sweden where he won the bronze medal in men's high jump event. He also competed for USA in exhibition baseball tournament in Stockholm.[2] See also
