Yeah, but didn't Clark announce this a while ago? Christine Clifton was
named to the team and then decided not to run about 3 weeks ago and was
replaced (I believe with Rachel Cook). If Clark isn't running, there's been
plenty of time to replace her.
So, does anyone know if she's running?

It means only five vaulters will be vaulting at one
