I know Carrie's mark won't count for qualifying, but it's worth mentioning.

It's still really early in the season. I think this is going to be a big year!

Edited to include the Polish girl at Utah State. Six women over auto already!

Last year only 7 DI women went 4.20 or better, and most of them got their season best mark at NCAAs.

I hear Jenny Soceka is redshirting this year.

I was at Madison last weekend and she was jumping unattached. The official told me that she is starting to tweak her form this year, so a red shirt is possible

They just need to raise the provisional and auto marks for women.

7 women over auto now!
