I don't speak German, and the results are just mixed in with the text, but if you click the links you can see nice pictures of Kellie and Nikki, and get a gist for how things went.

Here's a rough translation of the first article.
With a new national record, the Hungarian Krisztina Molnar prevailed yesterday evening in Beckum. The 30-year-old won the eighth Volksbank- polevault meet with 4.55 meters. Second was the Russian Yulia Golubchikowa, while the favorite Carolin Hingst had to live with fourth place and 4.40 meters. 3000 spectators watched as Molnar cleared the winning height on her first attempt in spite of rain and raised her personal best by two centimeters. "I came her to Beckum to jump the Hungarian record", said the former gymnast, "the changing wind and wetness did not make it easy." Because of the rainshowers, TV Beckum had to interrupt the high class vaulting. Golubchikowa didn't dissappoint the onlookers either. The third of the Russian masters started with a miss, then struggled until the 23-year-old cleared 4.50 meters.
The American Niki McEwen became the crowd favorite, who set a personal best of 4.45 meters to get third. Carolin Hingst, who won the Beckum meet in 2004, entered the competition late and failed at 4.50. Martina Strutz could not equal her performance at the Europe Championship in Goeteborg, where she a week ago was fifth: She had to on short notice borrow poles, after her own did not arrive in Beckum on time. McEwen helped out, but none-the-less for the sport soldier from Schwerin it was over at 4.25 meters. Also European Championship participant Naroa Agirre stayed with 4.30 meters just under her height at Goeteborg. Agirre, who after the rain delay did not re-enter the competition was fifth. Favorite Kellie Suttle from the USA pulled a ligament in warmups and had to withdraw. Student world champion Julia Huetter went out at 4.25 meters.
