Not only juniors, just primarily juniors. Most Open records are not
obtainable without a model specifically built for the rules, so at least in
indoor it would be extremely rare to break 2 records with one flight. This
is much more common with juniors. I broke both the LPP and PP records in a
couple categories when I was a junior, and I know others have done the
same.
