New freshman girls record? Shade Weygandt (TX) 12-9

Shade Weygandt won the TX 5A girls championships with a jump of 12-9. That beats the old record of 12-8 by Allison Stokke, right?

Yes.

That's what was announced at the meet anyway. She made it by 6 inches easy but was intimidated by 13 and never really finished a vault at it. She was on an Altius 12'9" pole gripping about 12'3".
