Donna Schultz nips Raschker record at Pole Vault Summit

In my original post on the weekend’s Pole Vault Summit, I overlooked the W50 world indoor record by Donna Schultz. According to this article in the Reno newspaper, Donna cleared 3.07 (10-0 3/4) to beat the listed W50 world indoor record of 3.06 by Phil Raschker at Boston nationals in 2000. The results sheet indicates Donna cleared 9-0 and 9-6 on her first tries, and also the WR on her first attempt, before missing three times at 3.17 (10-4 3/4). Donna has been jumping for years, but this mark is a real breakthrough. Way to go, Donna! (And my apologies for missing your mark.)
