A brilliant jump...using her speed very well on the run up and hit the board absolutely perfect.

Interesting how her career has gone from primarily a LJ to sprinter and back to LJ including a stint training for bobsled (not to say that she has given up sprinting). Before hitting PRs at least twice this year her best before 2014 dates back to 2005. She did not LJ in 2013.

I'm curious how much her coaching has played a part in this. When she got with Rana Reider is when she began to take off as a sprinter. When he moved to the UK after the London Olympics, she didn't follow and began focusing on bobsled. Now, I think she has stated that she is with one of the groups training in Florida and is having a extremely good progress in the long jump.

And she should be the #7 all time US performer.

She is coached now by Loren Seagrave at the IMG facility.

Also just noticed, Bartoletta seems to be without a sponsor.
