The Razorbacks qualified four student-athletes in the pole vault. Junior Katie Stripling, the SEC Co-Field Athlete of the Year, leads the NCAA with a height of 14-5.25. Senior Sarah Landau is 20th with her mark of 13-7.25, sophomore Tara Diebold is 21st with a height of 13-6.25 and junior Janice Keppler ranks No. 23 with a season- and personal-best mark of 13-5.75.

Sarah didn't even place top 12, I wonder who he got to scratch for her to get in.

add 2 more guys to the list.

My understanding is that her own teammate freshman Tina Sutej , who had a 13'7 jump early but had not been jumping her best lately, offered to let the senior take her spot. The fact they had 5 girls over 13'6 and the squad still has a team attitude is an even bigger compliment to the girls and thier coach.

OK here are the start lists:
