My files show these as Stacy's *36* USA records, including today's world
outdoor best. Incidentally, the first of these, the 3.05 meters indoors,
was under her maiden name of Mikaelson. It will be noted that I'm missing
the exact date and venue of this and her 3.35 indoor mark. I'd appreciate
help

outdoors" which means nothing-obviously a great jump though. I think you meant
that 4.83 was 15' 10" by the way.

Earlier today, Matthew wrote that Stacy Dragila had set a new world record
in today's Grand Prix meet in Ostrava. Martin corrected that to "Outdoor
WR."
I'm wondering whether, given current IAAF categories, there was any world
record at all.
Certainly, Stacy's 4.83 was the best outdoor vault, eve
Outdoor WR.
