I am typing without consulting the rules, but I believe that heights in jump offs for first place do count for finishing height. The jump off above was not for place but for the spot on the team. So, I would think that the result would stand as a tie for 3rd place at 435.
The 3rd placer clearing higher than the champion does make for an interesting bit of trivia. What would have happened if some kind of record was set in the jump off??

That is consistent with what the announcer was saying.

My husband who was out there said the coaches and girls were all blaming it on one athlete but about 5 or 6 came up to him and told him to leave it. I'm not sure who they were..he said their complaint was if they switched the pad they would only get less than 1/2 hour warm up time for the entire field. They were going to start the meet at 12 no matter what. It came down to a full warm up or one run through.

The winds were both head and cross but mainly head. Most of the athletes who I talked to said they were told TV wanted it set up that direction. The decs were the only ones allowed to vault the other direction. The winds really sucked all weekend because they were swirling and inconsistent which made pole selection a nightmare. I think turning it would have helped some but it still was not a good weekend for jumping.
Winners find a way to win, losers find an excuse.
