But no... they've put 4.95 on the results site. Hmmm... we'll see.

Huge height at 4.95 but hits it on the way down.

She is finally starting to look like she did a few years ago. Everything is really starting to time up right.

Nicks it on the way down but it stays! Probably not as good a jump as the first one, but she gets a little deeper and the bar stays.

The camera angles suck, but it looks like she definitely had the height at 5.03 and just hits it on the way down!

She looks pretty stoked that she is finally jumping well again. This is the best she's looked since she jumped 5.01.
