scott brown's report on jenn
stuczynski was brilliant. nobody knew we had a potential
gold medal winner in the pole vault in our own back yard. to hear her story touched me,
and i'll be pulling for her during the olympics. scott is your best reporter, whether its news or sports. kudos to channel 2 for using him wisely. love your show...

sincerely yours...

Jenn is my 3rd cousin. I used to watch her play softball when I drove school bus & drove the FHS softball team to various locations. I always knew she was a great athelete but this accomplishment goes beyond anything ANYONE could have imagined. Good luck in China Jenn!!!!

That was a great story last night. I was surprised at how much air time they devoted to this good news story, maybe they could search out some more positives. What a great all around athlete, hope she gets the gold!

We will certainly be following Jenn and her quest for a metal. We also have our community rallying behind our own Sheldon Battle in his quest to qualify at the U.S. trials in the shot put and continue his Olympic dream.

I got to see Jenn as a high school track athlete when we ran Fredonia in our league meets. She was always nice and very competative at her events. I wish her the best and would like to say that this story was well done.Good luck on your dream of representing our country and area in the Olympic Games.

Jenn just set a new American Record of 16-00.75 feet at the Adidas Track Classic in Carson, California. She took three tries at a new world record, coming very close on her third attempt.

Jen is my niece and we are so very proud of her.
When she was little she came to Arizona for a visit and we knew then she was a true athlete. Once when my husband Joe challenged her on a run he vowed never to make that mistake again. She beat the pants off of him. What was he thinking (LOL)!!! Love you Jen and we're so very proud of you and all the hard work and dedication you put forth to earn this spot. God Bless!!! XOXO

I hope to see this girl pull it off! Maybe she can do something to help others realize they can do a lot more than what they think or what they are told they can do.
Mmmmm

Rick Suhr is one of the greatest pole vaulting coaches. He has coached many great vaulters. Nice job Rick and even better job Jen.
