Murer vs. Suhr in PV

One of the break-out international track and field stars of 2010, Brazilian icon Fabiana Murer out-dueled world record holder Yelena Isinbayeva to win the 2010 World Indoor Championships gold medal in Doha, Qatar. Outdoors, the South American record holder posted the second-highest height of the year, 4.85m/15-11. Coming off such a spectacular year and making her Millrose debut, Murer in 2011 will grace the cover of the event program for the 104th Millrose Games.

The woman who topped the 2010 performance charts, 2008 Olympic and World Indoor silver medalist Jenn Suhr of Rochester, N.Y., returns to Millrose searching for her second victory at the Garden. The American record holder indoors and outdoors, Suhr was the 2009 Millrose champion and led the world in 2010 with her winning height of 4.89m/16-0.5 at the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa.

2004 Olympian Jillian Schwartz, competing for Israel, as well as Americans Melinda Owen and Becky Holliday, will complete the Millrose field.
