Thirty Year Fan Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) I thought she was from Roch (also home of Abby Wambach, I might add)..... West side of Rochester Awesome way to go Jen: Edited August 7, 2012 by Thirty Year Fan
bbb Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 She's from Fredonia. Went to Roberts Wesleyen and is their all time leading scorer in women's basketball. Her coach turned husband runs his training west of Rochester, so she lives there now. I watched it live without announcers online - it was great. So glad she won!
zow2 Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Great to see that Jenn won this thing. I don't know though, i watched live and it seemed like many of the vaulters had a bad day. So many just aborted or stalled on the runway leading up to the jump and didn't even try. The diva Russian who usually wins this had a poor effort. The Cuban tied Jenn in height but lost on a technicality. I think the forces just lined up for Jenn Suhr to win it even though it looked like a subpar day overall for pole vaulting.

bbb Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 For anybody whose DVR **** the bed like mine did, here is Jenn's medal ceremony. That has got to be unlike anything else in the world: http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/track-and-field/highlights-womens-pole-vault-medal-ceremony.html

RuntheDamnBall Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Wondered if y'all had seen that Jenn now holds the world record? Pretty sweet.
