There are also 11 already over 5.65m. It would be pretty amazing if no one else clears!

Noo! Walker has plenty of height but knocks down the bar on the way down.

5 are already over on Pit A with 7 left to go, so we probably will see the bar go to 5.75. A marathon competition!

I wonder what the maximum number of vaulters is they would take to finals? You would think that if only 13-14 make this height that they would take them all... I wonder where the cutoff is.

The pole vault is running WAY later than the rest of the track meet, and it is late at night there (almost midnight!), so I am inclined to think they will be more generous
