Stuczynski favored in women's pole vault

The only field event of the evening features America's best women's pole vaulter Jenn Stuczynski, who will be challenged by a talented group of veteran performers. Stuczynski ended the 2006 season ranked #1 in the U.S. by T&FN, and posted the third best performance in the world this year with her personal best clearance of 4.70 meters/15 feet 5 inches in winning the USATF Pole Vault Summit in Reno, Nevada. Stuczynski, who won in Boston (4.63m/15-2.25) and was the runner-up at Millrose (4.53m/14-10.25) will be challenged by the third U.S. woman ever to break the 15-foot barrier, Mary Sauer, who was the runner-up at Boston. Other challengers include two-time NCAA Outdoor champion Tracy O'Hara and reigning NCAA Indoor champion Chelsea Johnson, who ended the season ranked #3 in the U.S. by T&FN. Also in the field is local product April Steiner, who cleared 4.60m/15-1 to finish second to Stuczynski at the Pole Vault Summit.
