Just think how Coach Suhr was feeling before Jen cleared on her 3rd attempt.

They keep jumping. We don't even have a definitive winner yet.

Stuczynski is blowing through her pole but makes 4.65 easily with a lot of height, peakign well behind the bar. She is now in the lead.

Steiner doesn't have as good of a takeoff and ends up bailing.

what will Jen's next bar be (assuming April goes out here)? 4.91 or just go for 5.02?

I'd go 4.80m and figure out the pole situation since she's blowing through everything. That might give her a shot at a WR later. Bubba

Jenn has the bar raised to 4.76 for a new Olympic Trials record. I think she wants to get some kinks worked out before going for bigger records.

False start in the hurdles, then Jenn can jump....


She is a little under but has huge height over it and makes it easily.

Yay Jenn!!!
