Jenn Stuczynski set US pole vault record!
 

I just watched Jenn in her try outs for the Olympics. She looked real nervous on his first jump. It was windy. On the third jump, Jenn set a US record. :bigthumbsup: :#1: :#1:
She reads this blog along with her parents and grandparents. I saw her grandparents a few weeks ago and they all said "THANK YOU" to the Villagers.
Please keep her in your positive thoughts as the World record is held by a Russian and Jenn has a huge task to represent the US against such tough competition.
Again a big "Thank YOU" from Jenn and her family.

Jenn, breaking the American record is a huge accomplishment. Given your background, it is truly miraculous. Win, lose or draw, we are so very, very proud of you. Go show the world what Americans are made of -- gracious in victory and defeat. Most importantly, have fun at the Olympics!

If you do read this Jenn - congratulations. Enjoy the experience for what it really is as it will seem like it's over before it even begins. It's nice for us to have a 'connection' to the games.

Re: Jenn Stuczynski set US pole vault record!
 

Congrats, Jen and good luck in Beijing. http://www.usatf.org/events/2008/Oly...esults/F26.asp http://www.usatf.org/news/view.aspx?...07_06_19_08_45 :bigthumbsup: ;D

Re: Jenn Stuczynski set US pole vault record!
 

Thanks you all and anybody else who wants to give a shout out. I know Jenn's parents and grandparents read this and show it to Jenn. I also know she is very nervous and this is her first time with all the intense media and competition.

Her DAD said she says "Thanks" and apparently all the good wishes are working. You are a part of her team. Thanks again!

Re: Jenn Stuczynski set US pole vault record!
 

Jen, we wish you all the best. Enjoy your time in the Olympics - it will be something you will treasure forever. You will certainly have all of us Villagers rooting for you for sure!!!

The Russian set a world record today. :(
The article is on the last page of the Sun today.(July 12,2008) Jenn Stuczynski has her name mentioned.

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.

Re: Jenn Stuczynski set US pole vault record!
 

Saw that article mcelheny. This looks like the same AP article but from the Minneapolis Star Tribune http://www.startribune.com/sports/24532854.html Have to root for the Americans though to reclaim the world record or at least give the Russian some competition.

Good luck Jenn in Beijing.

Our little town up North is selling posters of Jenn Struzynski to raise money for her parents. The money will be used to help with expenses for her parents to go to China to see their daughter pole fault in the Olympics.
Plus through her parents she said "Thank You" to all her supporters here.

Re: Jenn Stuczynski set US pole vault record!
 

That's a neat idea, Best Mom. :bigthumbsup:

Re: Jenn Stuczynski set US pole vault record!
 

That's really sweet, Best Mom! :) :)

Re: Jenn Stuczynski set US pole vault record!

Re: Jenn Stuczynski set US pole vault record!
 

The July 28, 2009 SI issue has a picture of Jenn on page 85 and 122 has her predicted to win the Silver with Yelena Isinbayeva winning the Gold and Monika Pyrek the Bronze Medals.

Thanks Shirleevee and Tal,

I hope she does well . She has come so fast that she doesn't begin to have the experience of most of the pole vaulters at the Olympics. Our little town is fund raising to help send her parents to China to see her jump.

Again, I will make sure her parents see all the shouts outs on this blog.
I will say again, Jenn is the most down to earth nice person!

Re: Jenn Stuczynski set US pole vault record!
