Thanks so much Becca...you did great. Wish Stacy could have jumped that 15'5" again. It is sad to see her pole vault career end the way it did.
Our greatest achievement is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall

OK, now that the team has been selected... how do they stack up against
the rest of the world given the marks they made yesterday?
I'm curious.
