It was worth the plane ticket, the first time Stuczynski and Dragila ever jumped against each other in a meet. Stucz. jumping where no american has ever jumped before 15'10" 1/2... made easily on her second attempt.I enjoyed seeing this in person(an american record).stacey was out early and stucz was struggling,sauer was in the lead after 4.44m. Then stucz went to a different level. Making 4.54and4.64onfirstattempts by a mile.She went under the record once and then casually made it easy.Took one a 16ft. and said that was enough.The torch has clearly been passed.stacey is everthing american vaulting has been, And stuczinski is everything it will be.this is a great new leader for our women vaulters.congrats what a great jump to have seen.

I saw it on TV. Looked great! It was a strange angle on TV but it looked like she was a touch further out than usual but she smacked and locked the swing. Congrats to Jenn and team!! Bubba

US Olympic Committee, Feb 2, 2005
A promising new talent emerged in the women's pole vault as Jennifer Stuczynski, from tiny Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, N.Y., won the competition with a height of 4.35m/14-3.25. The 5-11 former basketball player took up the vault only eight months ago and is a sometime training partner of national high school record holder Mary Saxer. Becky Holliday placed second at 4.30m/14-1.25, with 2002 USA indoor champion Mary Sauer third at the same height.
She sure has come a long way in a short period of time.

Nice job Jenn! I want to call you but I am in Europe and it would cost me $1 a minute. I will see you guys at USAs!

I don't know if this will amuse anyone but me, but while perusing some Russian websites this evening, I ran across the announcement of Jennski’s AR on Pavel Voronkov’s TrackAndField.ru:
