Donna Schultz just cleared 3.11m to set a new masters wr at the UW Invitational in the 50-54 category a few moments ago.

Paul Merca, I hate you and your iPhone :P

I thought about making sure I was at the meet first thing to see Donna jump, but it's going to be a long day, so I chose sleeping in instead. I'll be there in an hour or so!

Actually, it's the magic of wireless internet here at the Dempsey, courtesy of UW Sports Information!

My spotters down at the pit helped me out!

Phil had it at 3.06m, 10' 0.5" from Boston in 2000. Donna jumped 10'1" at Reno and now this at 10' 2.5".

The lower guys pit started at 14'8 (and 6 of the 11 NH'd). They started the women's pit at 3.11, and I think the only reason they started that low was for Donna. I think that being Kate Soma's mom has some pull there.
