bbb Posted August 7, 2012 Share 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 Share 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.
