Stuczynski 15' 10 1/2 (4.84) American Record!!!

Unread postby 30yrs-coaching » Sun May 20, 2007 8:42 pm

It was worth the plane ticket, the first time Stuczynski and Dragila ever jumped against each other in a meet. Stucz. jumping where no american has ever jumped before 15'10" 1/2... made easily on her second attempt.I enjoyed seeing this in person(an american record).stacey was out early and stucz was struggling,sauer was in the lead after 4.44m. Then stucz went to a different level. Making 4.54and4.64onfirstattempts by a mile.She went under the record once and then casually made it easy.Took one a 16ft. and said that was enough.The torch has clearly been passed.stacey is everthing american vaulting has been, And stuczinski is everything it will be.this is a great new leader for our women vaulters.congrats what a great jump to have seen.

I saw it on TV. Looked great! It was a strange angle on TV but it looked like she was a touch further out than usual but she smacked and locked the swing. Congrats to Jenn and team!! Bubba

Jenn = my hero (and she held my engagement ring!)

Congrats Jenn and Rick! You've both been amazing for the RIT vaulters this season, and I'm so happy that you broke the American record. It's only up from here!

US Olympic Committee, Feb 2, 2005

A promising new talent emerged in the women's pole vault as Jennifer Stuczynski, from tiny Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, N.Y., won the competition with a height of 4.35m/14-3.25. The 5-11 former basketball player took up the vault only eight months ago and is a sometime training partner of national high school record holder Mary Saxer. Becky Holliday placed second at 4.30m/14-1.25, with 2002 USA indoor champion Mary Sauer third at the same height.



She sure has come a long way in a short period of time.

Nice job Jenn! I want to call you but I am in Europe and it would cost me $1 a minute. I will see you guys at USAs!

I don't know if this will amuse anyone but me, but while perusing some Russian websites this evening, I ran across the announcement of Jennski’s AR on Pavel Voronkov’s TrackAndField.ru:
20.05.2007

Стучински – 4,84

Американская прыгунья с шестом Джен Стучински на соревнованиях в Карсоне добилась наконец своего – стала рекордсменкой США, побив рекорд знаменитой Стэйси Драгилы (4,83) на один сантиметр – 4,84. Выше прыгали только Светлана Феофанова (4,88) и Елена Исинбаева (5,01).
