Day 266: Jenn Suhr vaults!

Day long rain threatened to spoil Jenn Suhr's homecoming celebration, but the front passed just in time to clear the clouds and permit the event to proceed.  Several NYS pole vaulters participated, but the entire town's attention was focused on Jenn.  It was thrilling to watch her vault over 15 feet 10 inches today.  She set the record for the best jump of the year!  She made three attempts to clear 16 feet 4 inches and break her own American record, but was not able to do so.  In the next week, she will try again at her college in Rochester and before the Buffalo Bills game next Sunday.  Hopefully, she can set a new record.  What an inspiration to all the children of our community!  Everyone is so proud.
