Sunshinepv did it under some pretty trying circumstances.
She was victimized by 20-minute bar measurements and had to stand around A LOT towards the end of her series. One time the official stopped her when she had already started down the runway. Then the announcer called her name out just as she was starting down the runway for one of her record attempts.
But, to her credit, she stayed focused and lit it up pretty good. She put serious air between her and the bar on most of her attempts. Sometimes she brushed the bar on the way down but had a lot of room in front. I'm guessing she would have been good for 14'3" had the long day not caught up with her. She ran through on her first attempt at 14' and withdrew without taking her other two chances.
Then she lit up the stadium with that great smile of hers.
It was an awesome day both for her and Tommy. I felt the collegiate men had better jumping conditions the day before and were still not able to jump 18'.
