Stuczynski sets American record in pole vault

February 7, 2009
BOSTON—Jenn Stuczynski set an American record in the pole vault with a height of 15 feet, 9 3-4 inches at the Boston Indoor Games.

Stuczynski (stuh-ZIN'-skee) won the event at last week's Millrose Games in New York, but she missed her attempt at the record.

Also in the Boston meet Saturday, Kara Goucher won the 3,000 meters in a personal best of 8 minutes, 46.65 seconds. Goucher, who had the fastest debut for an American woman when she finished third at the New York Marathon last year, is using her time in Boston to train for her Boston Marathon debut this spring.

Sorry, I was getting my officials certification and just got home (no internet there). So far Miles has made 5.72, Hooker boomed 5.87 and is now attempting 6.06. Very close on his first.

Yes, Vaultngus is text messaging me updates. I am just glad I am visiting my folks in Seattle, my cell phone doesn't work where I live in the boonies.
