Re: Jenn Stuczynski set US pole vault record!
Whether Jenn breaks world records or not is truly irrelevant. So is winning the gold. Those are bonuses. To have come so far, to have worked so hard, to have attained so much, that is why we are rooting for her. To have done all of this in an out-of-the-way place, without the best equipment, to be as gracious is she appears to be, that is why we are proud of her.
Jenn, no matter what the outcome, we'll be cheering you on and will be thrilled when we see you at the Olympics. You may not be a hometown girl but you're one of us nonetheless.
