PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – It has been a whirlwind two weeks for Katie Stripling of the University of Arkansas Lady Razorback track team. First she clears 13 feet for the first time in her career, and then a week later she snatches the Penn Relays “Championship of Americaâ€Â

CowtownPV,
Arkansas was well represented but i believe LSU's freshman Katelyn
Rodrigue was 3rd. Katelyn's jump also represents the first time a LSU
woman vaulter has placed at Penn Relays. With that jumped she becomes LSU's first woman vaulter over 13 ft. Awesome job Katelyn!!

Sorry about that, the story came from ladybacks.com. I was just trying to mess with Hog coach Brian Compton. The girl who won goes over the bar on her back. They are working on turning but not there yet.

Based on this picture, I would say it is unclear whether she turned or not

My guess is that she's still not turning. She's just really learning how to vault and as long as she keeps those hips moving fast, I don't see any reason to be concerned about the turn at this point in the game. Wouldn't you just love to coach a girl that can make 4m without turning?

She's a stud! I used to coach her in gymnastics and she was a stud then! Hell I'm not sure she's been doing this for two years yet! This is her first year competing for the school!
