NCAA Women's Pole Vault - Hutson 4.45, Sutej 4.40, Pena 4.30

[rainbowgirl28]

They just measured the height. The head official from yesterday was replaced.

Pena has a solid first attempt but it's a miss.

[rainbowgirl28]

Hutson brushes it off on the way up for a first attempt miss at 4.35

[rainbowgirl28]

Sutej has a really nice first attempt make at 4.35. She has a nice takeoff!

[rainbowgirl28]

Pena has a really nice second jump... easily has the height but her chest bangs into it on the way down.

[rainbowgirl28]

Hutson clears easily on her second.

[rainbowgirl28]

Pena gets a clap started...

She moved up poles and didn't really finish the jump.

Pena will finish in 3rd place with 4.30. Bar going up to 4.40

Bar to 4.40, Hutson has a close first attempt miss. Brushes it on the way up.

While you hate to see that happen.. it was justified.

That was one of the longest (time wise) bar measurements I've seen. Why now? I didn't see any from the get go and that's not proper procedure. How much off might they have been at all previous heights. Only the shadow know.

[rainbowgirl28]

Sutej makes... and the wind blows her pole into the standard. The officials confer and call a make. I reviewed the video and I say good call

[rainbowgirl28]

I am guessing that Hutson just passed? Looks like they just raised the bar?

[rainbowgirl28]

Hutson passes her remaining attempts at 4.40 and clears 4.45!!
