Stuczynski stats 2007 Sweat/Bitter

November 17, 2007

The Sweet:
- Held the highest outdoor jump in the world for 2 1/2 months (2007)
- 2 American Records: 15' 10" 1/2 and 16'.
- Became the #2 All-Time highest vaulter ever in the world
- Outside of Isinbayeva, Stuczynski had the 2 highest jumps in the world: 4.84 and 4.88
- First American to clear the milestone of 16'.
- Fastest women ever to jump 16' in the world: 3yrs 2 months
- Won her 3rd and 4th U.S. Titles.
- Finished just 3 cm behind Isinbayeva in outdoor, closest anyone has finished to the Russian since 2003.
- Had the 3rd best Average Ranking height in the world in 2007 of 4.75m (15' 7").

The Bitter:
- Injured back, ankle and achilles.
- Unable to finish 6 out of 7 meets in Europe due to injury.
- Never jumped in a single Golden League meet against Isinbayeva (a much anticipated rivalry)

We are remaining optimistic that Stuczynski will be recovered and ready for the 2008 Olympic Trials.
