Jenn Stuczynski, the #1 American vaulter, opened her season with a world-leading clearance of 15-6 1/4, a personal best, at the Brockport Inv. on Saturday. Stuczynski then missed three times (two were close) at 15-10 1/2, which would have been an American Record had she cleared. Stacy Dragila holds the current record of 15-10. "She couldn't have been closer," said Rich Suhr, her coach. "She was over twice clean and hit it on the way down." Click here for more..
