ive never thought of my shoes as being that important to my performance. I wouldent vault any different if I was wearing real tight shoes It wouldent be something I would think about.

WOMEN'S POLE VAULT QUALIFYING ROUND

Stacy Dragila (Phoenix, Ariz.), 4.30m/14-1 1/4 dnq: "I didn't make it. I blew my shot.

Asked about an injury: "I had a little bit of an Achilles problem since the Trials, and I haven't been able to jump much. But tonight I felt great. I took my warm-up jump at the track, and I didn't feel anything."

On struggling with her takeoff: "I didn't know what to do. Either I was going to move back and risk falling or rush under it.

On how her Achilles problems affected her preparations: "I need to jump. I'm a jumper. I was unable to do a lot of that. I've been on painkillers and (trainers) have been good to me. I've been doing a lot of walking drills. I thought, 'I can do this. I can pole vault.' But I couldn't pole vault tonight. This is something I should be able to do in my sleep. This is what I come in at a local meet. It's going to be a great final. I just won't be a part of it."

Why didn't they show Jillian at all on TV? They didn't show her results or even mention her name. I think they even said something about BOTH athletes not making it instead of all three. I thought at first something happened and she didn't vault until I checked the results online.
