Thank you so so much for the coverage! I've been to awe-struck to post prior to this moment.

wow!
i was watching it live and saw it in the background on the jumbo tron during the 1500 also and then of course saw the replay. and she did hit it pretty bad. but hey whatever, as long as it stays on!
work, sweat, tears, and pain... all of this for just one gain.
are you tough enough?

when you compare to other professional athletes who are the best in their sport, it kinda is. Not saying I'd pass up 25k, but professional pole vaulters are vastly underpaid. Added the placement, I think this *should* be close to correct. I just kinda skimmed over it though.

Very solid second attempt! I think she went up a pole, just didn't quite time up with it as well. She says she is done for the day.


Yay for Jenn, April and Erica for making their first team!!
