Man what happened to Angela? In 2003 she took 2nd and 3rd at the indoor
and outdoor championships respectively. She also topped the 13' mark.
Since then she's had tough times. She managed to clear 3.95m 12'11.50
last spring but NH'd at nationals. This year she hasn't really even
come close to breaking the 12' barrier. Hopefully she can turn things
back around.

season with two meets below 10' and now she's all the way up to 3.53m

The last Wisconsinite in the field (don't worry there are plenty more
on the guys side). So far she's 7-for-7 in qualifying for the big show.
That's a pretty impressive accomplishment i must say. She's finished no
lower than 5th in her three trips indoors but hasn't really put up any
super impressiv emarks yet this year and only qualified this year in
her last meet. S'aight. I think she'll deal...
