“The Legend of Jenn” At one point Jenn Suhr had the 10 highest jumps ever for an American women. She still has the 2 highest jumps indoors in the world just days now from her 40th birthday.

@Scott_Simpson_ Also Jenn’s 5.03 was on a flat runway at sea level. When we first came into vault they would not count many vault only meets,or elevated runways. This is why many PRs from flat tracks. But times have changed,elevated runways and big marks are here to stay. Good for event exposure

@Scott_Simpson_ The advantage of raised runways mainly is in that they are temporary and can often not be level especially in smaller meets. The bounce does help. The pole vault only format helps. Many of these types of meets were not as prevalent with these vaulters so many PRs would be on flat

@NBCOlympicTalk Mondo broke the record on a flat runway in a full track meet. Hard jump! Total respect for doing it in those conditions as Jenn did her 5.03 world record. Congrats Mondo

Shorter run in Paris!We wanted to back up and go for it in Paris but we have to go short and try to secure 7th place points in order to make the final in two weeks. It is what it is. The smart decision. Great field of 22 jumping and should be a great meet for spectators.

“Jenn, You’re such a shy, self-conscious girl. Being a lanky 5ft 9ins at the age of 13 has led you to worry about whether you fit in.” Read more on the USA's 2012 Olympic champion @JennSuhr and her advice to her younger self. 📰:buff.ly/2zbaq7R

USA Women’s Pole Vaulters hold 3 of the top 4 heights currently in the World for the first time I remember. Incredible and what an improvement from the past decade. Great setup for next years Olympic Games.
