[Bob H]

Everyone cleared or passed the opening height. Bar now at 1.75 (5-8 3/4).

Bar now at 1.83 (6-0). Majority of the field still alive.

[Bob H]

Uh, oh. The scoreboard seems to have stopped posting results. About five jumpers have gone since the last one shown on the board. Updates may be problematical if they don't fix that.

OK, it may be fixed. They just showed the bar going to 1.86m (6-1 1/4). I believe 5 or 6 are still alive.

[Bob H]

Patterson is the first over 1.86m. Hooker clears on her first attempt, too, but Patteson is ahead at this point. Three others still jumping. Now in second round.

[Bob H]

Bar going to 1.89 (6-2 1/4). Only Patterson and Hooker are alive. Patterson leads on misses. She'll be up first.

[Bob H]

Patterson misses first attempt. Big clearance for Hooker. She takes the lead.

Patterson clears on her second attempt. Bar will go to 1.92m (6-3 1/2).

[Bob H]

Patterson clears on her first attempt and so does Hooker. Next height will be 1.95m (6-4 3/4).

Hooker's last two jumps have been very impressive.

[Bob H]

Patterson clears on her first attempt, for a PR. Hooker clears on her first attempt, too. Next height 1.98m (6-6). If cleared, that would be a collegiate indoor record.

Great competition!

[Bob H]

Patterson misses first attempt at 6-6. Very close miss for Hooker.

[Bob H]

Patterson misses second attempt.

HOOKER CLEARS!!!!

[Bob H]

Bar at 2.01 (6-7), which would equal the American Indoor Record.

She misses first attempt.

And second.

[Bob H]

Third attempt was better than the other two, but still a miss. Nonetheless, a terrific event.

[gh]

Patterson clears on her first attempt, for a PR. Hooker clears on her first attempt, too. Next height 1.98m (6-6). If cleared, that would be a collegiate indoor record.

Great competition!

Since T&FN follows the IAAF rules (much more progressive and modern than the dinosaurs at USATF), the 6-6 equals the CR, period, matching a pair of outdoor marks.
