Stevenson – Dues paid and set for greater heights
Thursday 6 January 2005
Toby Stevenson called it the turning point of his Pole Vault career when the American scaled 6.00m in the Modesto Relays on a sunny California afternoon on 8 May 2004.
Not only was it the world’s best jump in three years and put Stevenson among an elite group of nine athletes to reach the magical 6.00m barrier outdoors. He set three career bests - 5.75 equalled PB (had jumped 5.81 indoors, 31 Jan); 5.85; 5.91 - en route to his new personal best of 6.00m.
