In just a few short years, Stuczyski has become the reigning American queen of the pole vault, and she now threatens to become the best in the world. At the 2008 Olympic Trials, Stuczynski entered the competition at 4.60m/15-1.25 and only two other vaulters were still jumping. After two misses at her opening height, she went on to clear the bar by nearly a foot. She was the only vaulter to clear 4.65m/15-3.75, and she immediately had the bar raised to 4.76m/15-7.5 in an attempt to break Stacy Dragila's 2004 Olympic Trials record of 4.75m/15-7. She easily soared over it on her first attempt, then raised the bar to 4.92m/16-1.75, 1 cm better than her own American record of 4.91m/16-1.5. After a close miss on her first attempt and a less-close miss on her second, she easily made it on her third try…She set two American records early in 2007, including becoming the first American to clear 16 feet with her jump of 4.88m/16-0 of at the Reebok Grand Prix… Stuczynski started the 2006 indoor season with a bang, setting personal bests at nearly every meet and becoming the #2 American all time, behind only Stacy Dragila, with her clearance of 4.68m/15-4.25, she then captured her first USA Outdoor title with her winning clearance of 4.55m/14-11 at the 2006 AT&T USA Outdoor Championships...was a standout basketball player for Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, N.Y., before taking up the pole vault in 2004…averaged 24.3 points and 6.7 rebounds a game for Roberts Wesleyan in 2003-04, taking her team to the NCAA national championship game… graduated as school’s all-time leading scorer in basketball with 1,819 points… school record-holder in the 100H at 14.66, also holds Roberts bests for the javelin, high jump, 400H and as a member of the 4x100 and 4x400 relays… won 2005 NAIA indoor national title in the pole vault with a 4.00/13-1.5 clearance, also placed in the 55H and HJ… followed up with a surprise win at the 2005 USA Indoor championships in Boston, soaring over 4.35m/14-3.25… won state pentathlon title as a senior at Fredonia High School… transferred from Roberts to Buffalo briefly, before returning to Roberts to complete her degree… has started work on a graduate degree in child psychology.
