Uggh FAIL for me!!

I guess Jenn did clear 4.86m!! For a new AR and WL! The video cut out and I didn't reload because I thought it was over...

Jenn Suhr to attempt 4.93m

[rainbowgirl28]

I missed the video, but it sounds like she hit the bar pretty good on the AR jump. I am sure RunnerSpace will have the video posted pretty soon, I think they've been good about that.

[rainbowgirl28]

Oh goody, not sure if they can even show the WPV because they might accidentally show a track race in the background.

[rainbowgirl28]

So maybe I didn't even miss the video of her AR jump. But if it's going to be on ESPN, Runner Space might not be able to post it...

[rainbowgirl28]

Well they cut over to the the WPV anyway... in-stadium announcer says it's her second attempt, Dan O'Brien seemed to think it was her first (I'd go with the in-stadium announcer).

It's a miss, but my crappy internet made the webcast cut out at her plant so I didn't see the jump.

[rainbowgirl28]

OK 3rd attempt for Jenn... 4.93m... decent attempt but a miss!

And that's a wrap for real this time.

the jumper friendly crossbar ends did not hurt -- but she hit it all on the down side so most bars would stay --

[Bubba PV]

Hope they have that bar when we jump there next week for Masters Nationals. Congrats Jenn!!

Just saw the replay of the record jump and she didn't hit it that hard. She's just under on both jumps they just showed at the end of the telecast, which holds up to what I heard from a few of the guys - FAST runway!! Bubba

Suhr leaps to record in Visa Women’s Pole Vault

Jenn Suhr etched another line in the history books with a new American record of 4.86/15-11.25 in the Visa Women’s Pole Vault. She already owned the records both indoors and outdoors. Her mark also secured her 1,211 points to win the 2011 Indoor Visa Championship Series title. Suhr previously claimed the top spot in the 2008 Outdoor Visa Championship Series.

Suhr, formerly Stuczynski, won her first national title in 2005 as a virtual unknown and has gone on to become a 2008 silver medalist in the Olympics and an eleven time national champion. En route to her eleventh national crown, Suhr opened at a height of 4.55/14-11.0, won the competition with a clearance at 4.75/15-07.0 and then missed on three attempts at 4.86/15-11.25. However, Suhr was given another attempt at the record height as the officials ruled that the standards were not properly set on her third vault. Seizing the opportunity for one more attempt, she sailed over the bar to secure the American Record.
