Read the following paragraph and determine if the hypothesis is true:

Beamon's jump was a world record that eclipsed the previous record by 21 3/4 inches. The jump still stands as an Olympic record, and stood as a world  record until Mike Powell leapt 29' 4 1/2" at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo.

Hypothesis: Powell leapt more than 28 feet.
Yes
