World Championships Update: Jenn Bows Out Due to Injury

Unfortunately, Nutrilite-sponsored athlete Jenn Stuczynski had to bow out of the women's pole vault at the World Championships due to a foot injury. I received an email from her agent this morning saying Jenn just had an MRI and that even though her foot is really swollen, they're trying to be optimistic.

Jenn had high hopes going into the World Championships. She set U.S. records for the women's pole vault in May and June to become the second highest vaulter ever.

Quote from Jenn in the media right now:

"It got to the point that I really couldn't push off anymore off my left foot. Before the competition, I tried everything in order to be able to go. I tried taping it tighter. Between jumps, I was talking to my coach on moving and adjusting my marks, but it wasn't doing any good. It came to a point where I didn't want to risk hurting it any further."

About Melissa Charles

Melissa Charles, Andy Gamm and Heidi Mack are Brand Managers in Health Marketing and writes The Team Nutrilite Blog, an inside look at Nutrilite-sponsored athletes and events. I'm a southern girl at heart. I grew up in North Carolina (so don't be surprised if ya see a ya'll or two from me) as an Air Force brat, and I moved to Michigan when my father retired from the military. I'm a little Legally Blonde, in the sense that I adore all things pink and I'm the proud owner of two super cute lil' chihuahuas. I thought I wanted to be a doctor, but after a year of pre-med (and blacking out while observing a few surgeries) I decided I'd be better off if I focused my creative energies to the marketing/communications side of Health. I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Bachelor's degree in Advertising/Public Relations, and a Master's degree in Communications. Over the course of my five years with Quixtar, I've worked in Public Relations, Employee Communications, and now Health Marketing. -More
