Big congratulations on that effort. That is indeed very, very good.
To clarify the whole Olympic thing, obviously we aren't in an Olympic year, but the qualifying standards are like this. A-List is an automatic qualifier (qualifier means a ticket to the Olympic trials, not a ticket to the Olympics). B-List is a level below and would mean that if there aren't enough qualifiers, the B-List athletes would be bumped up to the Olympic trials. The A-List or A-Standard last year was 4.47 meters or 14'8", the B-List or B-Standard was indeed 13'9 1/4".
I hope that clears things up without making anyone mad. The acxcomplishment is still tremendous and right in the hunt for a trip to the Olympic Trials.
