Visa Championship Series Update


Jenn Stuczynski has the respective lead in USA Track & Field's Outdoor Visa Championship Series following Saturday's Reebok Grand Prix in New York City.

Stuczynski became the first American woman to clear 16 feet in the pole vault Saturday with her winning leap of 45.88 meters/16 feet, 0 inches to set her second American record and world leader in two weeks. The performance was worth 1,218 points using IAAF scoring tables and extended her lead in the Visa Championships Series. She broke Stacy Dragila's 3-year-old American record on May 20 at the adidas Track Classic (4.84m/15-10.5). Two weeks later in New York, she had the bar set at 16 feet and took two solid tries that failed. On her third attempt at the height, Stuczynski gave the bar a brush, but it stayed up, giving her the American record as well as the U.S. all-comers record.
