Walker can't catch a break with the wind and runs through. He had an earlier miss at 5.70 so he is done! He'll finish in third with 5.65.

Hartwig has another great attempt at 5.80, but he tucks his knees in at top and knocks it off. He will finish in second with 5.70.

Derek has the bar raised to 5.90. His first attempt is a very good one! A miss though.

Derek pulls an Isinbayeva and raises the bar to 5.91 for a Trials record. (or else they had the wrong height displayed before). He has an awesome attempt, hits it on the way up.

Thanks Becca for the play by play. The anticipation of each jump was almost as good as being there.
