The Villagers support Jen Struczynski for Gold at the Olympics! Set a US record
 

She is going for the Olympic gold in pole vaulting. She is the sweetest young lady from a small town and a working class family. She had never touched a pole until about 3 years ago. It is all about hard work and natural ability. I hope people will support and cheer her on.
She is from Fredonia, NY and I know her very well. :bigthumbsup:

Jennifer

I admire your accomplishments and in such a short time. You are a role model for others--showing them what hard work, practice, perserverance, and positive attitude can accomplish.

Best wishes to you! I'll be watching and cheering you on.

Regardless of whether you win or lose, at least you will try and do your best. That is what's most important.

Godspeed.

Re: The Villagers support Jen Struczynski in her bid for Gold at the Olympics
 

Jen was named USA Track & Field's May Athlete of the Month after breaking her own US record by vaulting 16'3/4" at the Adidas Track & Field Classic. She was selected as the Team USA Athlete of the meet, presented by VISA.
Next is the Olympic Trials in Oregon. We think she will be vaulting in the finals on July 6, which should be on TV. Qualifying competition is before that, but due to her being the top ranked vaulter in the trials, I think she doesn't have to qualify.

Re: The Villagers support Jen Struczynski in her bid for Gold at the Olympics
 

Here is a link for the Olympic Track and Field Trials' schedule-- http://www.usatf.org/events/2008/Oly...F/schedule.asp

Re: The Villagers support Jen Struczynski in her bid for Gold at the Olympics
 

She looks to be in the "start list" for the pole vault trial. http://www.usatf.org/events/2008/Oly...tLists/P26.asp

This is today-- July 3-- at 7:10 p.m.

From web-site linked above-- "Top 14 Advance by Mark
Thursday 7/3/2008 - 7:10 PM"

Re: The Villagers support Jen Struczynski in her bid for Gold at the Olympics
 

Television coverage for the pole vault trials looks to start at 11:00 p.m. here in TV on the USA Network. http://www.usatf.org/events/2008/Oly...TVSchedule.asp

Re: The Villagers support Jen Struczynski in her bid for Gold at the Olympics
 

Tal,
Thanks so much for the update. Any ideas on what I can do to see this. I only have the 12 dollar cable and don't get USA channel. Thanks again for all the great research.

Re: The Villagers support Jen Struczynski in her bid for Gold at the Olympics
 

You are welcome.

I will bet she makes the finals of these trials which are on NBC July 6, 2008. Track and field event schedule-- http://www.usatf.org/events/2008/Oly...F/schedule.asp

That's great. mcelheny. http://www.usatf.org/events/2008/Oly...esults/P26.asp :bigthumbsup:

Good luck, Jenn. ;D

Re: The Villagers support Jen Struczynski in her bid for Gold at the Olympics
 

I watched a taping of the US Track and Field Trials on USA from July 3, 2008 and saw little if anything on the pole vault trials so it does not look like you missed your friend Jen mcelheny.

Guess those trials for pole vaulting did not have any dramatic tv for USA.

Tal,
Yes pole vaulting is like being the ugly sister in a family of 8 beautiful girls. It gets no attention! ;D

Re: The Villagers support Jen Struczynski in her bid for Gold at the Olympics
 

Hope it is getting some attention tonight from TOTVers. http://www.usatf.org/events/2008/Oly...TVSchedule.asp

The Track and Field Trials for the 2088 Olympics are om NBC tonight from 7 to 9 p.m.
