Ann had the most structured approach of any vaulter at that meet, men or women. It was truly impressive to see her on the runway. :yes:

Lisa Krupp of Sparta won the event with a jump of 11-3. Becca Pilkerton of Dexter was second at 11-3 and Brandi Hagan of Forest Hills Northern was third at 11-3.

Krupp won the state championship based on fewer misses at previous heights.
