but now Provisional and Declared

Erica Bartolina      unattached           4.40 14'05.25  4.40 14'05.25

My guess is that all of the "Provisional & Declared"s will be accepted
as that would make a field of 22. They may even add a few more -
Andrea Wildrick, Jackie Rodgers, Shannon Agee-Jones, Tara Clack and
Angela McGregor have sent in marks. They still have Andrea Wildrick
and Jackie Rodgers listed as "Not Qualified & Pending" - they may add
them to the field to make it the max of 24...

and since I waited so long to publish this issue - the OFFICIAL
startlists have come out :-)

VaultnGus sez :

I run out of things to say every year with Stacy so this time I'm
gonna stick with the facts and cut down on the hyperbole. 9 outdoor
meets - 8 victories, lowest height 4.50 14'09.00, 6 meets over 15', 5
meets over 15'05, an unofficial "world outdoor record". In a word -
dominating!

VaultnGus sez :

Kelly has once again put up an awesome resume in 2004 but there is
something troubling - it seems that her three 15 foot jumps
(including her nice PR of 4.67 15'03.75 ) have been in the comfy and
familiar confines of the Bell Athletics training facility. She did
put up a near 15' jump at Provo two weekends ago so perhaps I'm just
nitpicking. If she gets in the top three this will be her second
Olympic Team. I still remember her skying over 14'06.50 back at the
2000 Trials putting the heat on Mrs. Dragila. I thought that day she
was gonna sky over 15' but it just wasn't in the cards.

VaultnGus sez :

Andrea has snuck up on quite a few folks this spring. She avoided
nearly all of the big indoor and outdoor Golden Spike events. She did
make the trip up to Eugene to compete at the Prefontaine Classic but
she chose to jump at a lot of smaller meets (if you can call the
Kansas Relays and Drake Relays 'small'). She won every meet she
competed in until the Prefontaine and managed to crack the 15'
barrier for the first time on the 1st of May/ She also had marks of
14'08, 14'10.25 and 14'07.25. In other word you'd better watch out
for this Arizona grad. She could shock here...

VaultnGus sez :

Jillian really came into her own this winter when she took 4th at the
World Indoor Championships and snagging her first 15-footer to boot.
Since then she's handed Stacy Dragila her only loss of the spring
season and also has been over 15' twice more. She slumped a bit
during a European sojourn in June but came back blazing at
Prefontaine topping 15'01. Not bad for the former Dukester...

VaultnGus sez :

I gotta admit I had sorta written of Tracy O'Hara as an Olympic
threat due to her inconsistency and  I hate to say this - mediocre
perforamnces. Well that all changed this spring. Tracy started
showing signs of her form of 2000 at the Drake Relays when she topped
4.43 14'06.25 and again at Modesto where she got 2nd against a very
tough field with a seasonal best of 4.45 14'07.25. After a few okay
performances she then lit it up at TrackCityUSA's summer series
getting her first 15-foot jump of her career (finally - *whew*) on
June 12th and then following that up 4 days later with a 4.52
14'10.00 jump. The Prefontaine meet wasn't as kind and she finished a
disappointing 6th but at least she has shown that she has the big
jumps in her. Did he peak too early?

VaultnGus sez :

This is what I said back in February for the Indoor Champs :

"Looks like Mary's taking this Olympic indoor season a tad easy.
Indoors has never been her bread and butter. She'll bring it
outdoors when the stakes are really high..."

Well I think I was pretty accurate there - save for a two-meet down
swing in May every single one of her marks this spring tops her best
jump indoors and in most cases by at least 4 inches. She's been
steady in the mid-14's and did hti the rarified air of 15' in Irvine
back in early May. She's made two World Outdoor teams but finished a
heartbreaking 4th at the 2000 Olympic Trials.

VaultnGus sez :

Jan Johnson's pride and joy has certainly made her mark on the scene
this year starting indoors when she recorded numerous 14'+
performances and grabbing a 2nd at the NCAA Indoor championships.
This spring she upped the ante clearing 15' and hacing a series of 5
meets where her lowest mark was 4.35 14'03.25. Since then though
there's been a bit of a letdown. Perhaps she's tired or was nursing
some small injuries. She did win the NCAA Outdoor Championship crown
back on June 11th and hasn't competed since then so she should be all
rested up and ready to go come Friday. She could follow her father
onto an Olympic squad.

VaultnGus sez :

Becky closed out a stellar collegiate career in 2003 winning the NCAA
DI outdoor crown and making her first World Championship team. Since
then she's been training hard. She skipped the indoor circuit this
year and stayed local outdoors staying mostly in the northwest. She's
put up a couple of mid-14' marks but that may just not cut it this
year. It's a tough field...

VaultnGus sez :

April Steiner has been working with the Sky Athletics crew in Phoenix
and the results have been promising. She's now pretty reliably in the
low to mid 14's and she did get a new PR of 4.41 14'05.50 at the
Arizona Elite meet. Right now she's got a good shot at making the
final but and Olympic berth is probably too much to ask for...

Ya gotta love Shannon Gallagher. The highest she's ever placed in a
championship meet is 8th way back at the 1998 NCAA outdoor
championships when she jumped for Kent State. But man she keeps
plugging along getting better and better each year. For the love of
the sport :-) She finally got her first 14-footer this winter and
then upped that PR to 14'04 in June.

Gotta be a nice life. She's taking time off from Hah-vahd (hey I'm
from New England I'm allowed to mock our own accent and our
institutions of higher learning) to train for the Olympic Games. The
best of both worlds eh? Anyway she looked pretty good at the Indoor
championships but has competed sparsely since then and her last two
performances didn't exactly bode well. Don't count her out though -
she finished 6th in 2000 and could be a dark horse here.

Kate is an up-and-comer - she'll be a senior at the University of
Washington next fall - but she's already had some good meets. She
snagged second at this year's NCAA Outdoor champs after placing fifth
indoors and got her seasonal best of 14'02.00 in winning the loaded
PAC-10 championship meet where she beat prohibitive favorite Chelsea
Johnson on misses. This will be a great experience for her.

Ebbie has performed well at a lot of small meets this year. At her

14'01.25 - the mark that got her into these trials. It's gonna be
tough for her to make the finals against this stacked field.

that a lot of her competition has (her PR is 'only' 4.30m 14'01.25)
but she always manages to get herself in the thick of things. She won
the NCAA Mid-East regional and took 4th at the outdoor championships
(after a 5th indoors). The way she performs she could make the final

Talk about a last second qualifier. Monica snagged her first 14-foot
jump at just the right time - June 20th - got her mark in just under
the deadline. She has shown marked improvement this spring after
starting the season with a PR of 3.85m 12'07.50 - since then she's
improved it 6 times culminating in her trials qualifying performance.
It'll be tough to make it to the final but who knows...

VaultnGus sez :

Lacy's had a tough time of it since her horrific fall at last year's
outdoor meet. She's put up some okay marks but also has run through a
lot of jumps including this year's NCAA outdoor championships. She's a
supremely talented kid and I hope she can get her head back in the
game.

Connie performed well at this year's championship meets (3rd NCAA
indoors, 3rd PAC-10, 4th NCAA West regional, 7th NCAA outdoors) but
hasn't managed to crack 14' since last spring. That'll make it tough
going - she'll be hard pressed to make the finals this year

VaultnGus sez :

I saw Niki almost PR at this winter's USATF Indoor champs and she
looked primed for some big marks this spring. Unfortunately those
marks never materialized. She NH'd in half of her four competitions
and while she did put up a 4.20 13'09.25 at the Oregon Track Classic
it was only good enough for 6th.

Amy took the year of from Arizona to train for this year's Trials and
until two weeks ago it didn't look like such a good idea. Then on June
27th she smoked a 4.44 14'07.00 bar in Kansas and took some real good
shots at 15'. Perhaps all of her injury woes are behind her

VaultnGus sez :

Lesa looked sharp at the USATF Indoor Championships where she grabbed
4th ahead of some major talent. Since then she's competed VERY
sparingly - her last meet was Drake back on April 24th. She's got
another 2+ months of hard training under her belt. She was primed in
2000 to make a shot at the team but could only manage 12th after a
fall. Could this be Neo's year?

Weird. Originally Erica was listed as "Scratched" but that changed a
few days ago. She scored a major PR just a few weeks ago in
Atascadero clearing 4.40 14'05.25. At the indoor champs she managed
an 8th place finish with a nice jump of 4.20 13'09.25. If she is
healthy she is a threat for the final and perhaps even more...

That's it for now. We'll know who made it and didn't make it to the
final around midnight EST.

I don't know why she was listed as scratched. I think it was just a mistake because I saw her the last 2 weekends and she is looking great! She jumped 13'6" at the Tacoma Beach Vault on July 4th, and she came out here to San Marcos last weekend and had some great looking jumps :)

maybe i just missed it, but i don't remember seeing a write up on Lindsay Taylor. i wouldn't put her out of the picture since she placed 3rd at the usatf indoors this year. she has had some injury trouble outdoors, but i think she will push through it and jump well.

VaultnGus sez :

She may only have been a temporary New Englander but we'll take what
we can get :-) The former Brown heptathlete took up vaulting in
Pocatello with Stacy's old coach Dave Nielsen and the results have
been nothing less than extraordinary. At the USATF Indoor
Championships I finally got to witness this phenom and man did she
look good. Speed, strength and guts are a dangerous combo and once
the technique gets smoother this gal is going places. She almost
snuck a spot onto the world indoor championship team. 2004 may not be
her year but I foresee a time real soon where she's giving the
Russians a run for the money

BTW I do believe that her twin sister Brenda Taylor took 2nd in the
400m hurdles...
