2004

Jenn Stuczynski took up the pole vault in 2004 at Roberts Wesleyan.

 

2005

In 2005, she won the 2005 NAIA indoor national title in the pole vault with a 4.00m (13ft 1½ in) clearance, following that up with a win at the 2005 USA Indoor championships in Boston, soaring over 4.35m (14ft 3¼ in).

 

2006

Jenn Stuczynski started the 2006 indoor season by setting personal bests at nearly every meet and becoming the #2 American all time, behind only Stacy Dragila, with her clearance of 4.68m (15ft 4¼ in). She captured her first USA Outdoor title with her winning clearance of 4.55m (14ft 11in) at the 2006 AT&T USA Outdoor Championships. She finished third at the 2006 World Athletics Final.

 

2007

On May 20, 2007, Jenn broke the American outdoor pole vault record at the Adidas Track Classic in Carson, California, beating a talented group including an Olympic champion to become the top pole vaulter in the country. She reached the record height of 15 feet, 10-1/2 inches, beating the American record set by Stacy Dragila in 2004 by a half inch. She was the only vaulter to clear 15 feet. She was successful on her first try at 15ft 3in and after a failed first attempt at the new record, cleared the bar on her second try.

On June 2, 2007 at the Reebok Grand Prix, Jenn cleared 4.88m (16ft), becoming only the second woman in the world to do so. After clearing 14ft 7in and 15ft 3in on her first attempts to seal the victory, Stuczynski took three attempts at 16 feet, clearing the bar on her final try to eclipse by one and a half inches the American record she had set the previous month. The only woman who has vaulted higher is the Russian Yelena Isinbayeva, who holds the world record, 5.01m (16 ft 5¼ in). Another Russian, Svetlana Feofanova, has also vaulted 4.88m. Stuczynski then tried to vault over Isinbayeva. The bar was raised to 5.02m (16ft 6in), and she came tantalizingly close to clearing it on the second of her three attempts.

 

2008

Jenn Stuczynski won the Indoor US Nationals which also bought her a ticket into the 2008 IAAF Indoor World Championships in Valencis, Spain where she finished second on a countback to the Russian World Record Holder Yelena Isinbayeva. Both cleared 4.75 metres (15.58 ft).
