Jenn Stuczynski has set the American record in the pole vault, clearing 16 feet, 1 3/4 inches to earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic track and field team.

Stuczynski broke the mark she’d set in May by one inch, then made two attempts to break Russian Yelena Isinbayeva’s world record, but didn’t clear 16-5 1/2 either time. She passed on a third attempt.

Others qualifying for trips to Beijing at Olympic trials Sunday were Erica Bartolina and April Steiner Bennett.

Veteran Stacy Dragila, the 2000 Olympic gold medalist, failed to qualify.
