D-1 Outdoor best PV height histogram, by sex

[Edited to add: I did redid with whole country (not just east regional) and I did change the permissions so that everyone should be able to see. So the link below is to the new copy. Let me know if you have trouble accessing.]
I think you might find this interesting. From the TFRRS website I copied the PV data from the 2014 D-1 outdoor data base then bin-sorted to create a histogram.
The attached image is a histogram of the best height achieved by virtually all D-1 vaulters in the 2014 Outdoor regular season (prior to the NCAA regionals). Shown are both men (blue) and women (purple).
Note: I truncated best height down to the nearest 0.05 meters (5 cm), and the data point represents the number of vaulters whose best vault that regular season was between that height and 0.04 meters higher. Also, the best and worse 10 or so data points for each sex are the actual count for that height, but between the two extremes I did a box average of 3 to reduce the noise.
By and large the difference between Men and Women is about 1.1 to 1.2 meters (a bit more than I would have expected)
[It appears that uploading of any attachment is not allowed in this forum (I was informed of this only after separate attempts were reject for the wrong file type and then for too big of an image). So on to plan B ...]
Hoping this link will do it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-oBpKKKOJQpMkgxVW9tYTFESjQ/view?usp=sharing
(it seems to work in preview mode)
[Edited after KirkB's post: I changed the settings on the file to be viewable for all. So it should work now. Sorry about that.]
