Another 5.00 meter woman pole vaulter this year?

I believe that that another woman pole vaulter will jump at least 5.00 meters this year. My choice would be Jennifer Stuczynski since she at 4.92 meters is closest to that 5.00 meter mark.

It would not surprise me if she went 5 meters.

Jennski could go 5.00, but I would bet against it this year, if only because of the 'incremental' mentality. In her career - definitely.
I don't see any other women going 5m before Jenn, but would love it if they did.

It's not inconceivable that she'd have to try 5m becuase she's going head-to-head w/ Isi and that's the only way to win. Think Berlin in August.

I think she'll try 5.00 meters several times this year. Especially after breaking the American Record outdoors, which she could do several times. I doubt there is a huge financial incentive for her to break the American Record a zillion times, but there probably is more money (and more appearance fees, etc) if she can get over 5.00m.
