Carly Dockendorf thinks 4.41m will be record
This was definitely a weekend to be loved if you were a track and field fan in Canada on Valentine’s Day. Canadian records fell from the sky like kisses for handful of Canadian athletes. Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops, BC started the trend in Leipzig with his 20.90m shot put.

For a short time, Carly Dockendorf of Coquitlam, BC thought she had broken the National record in the pole vault in Seattle with her 4.42m jump breaking the existing record of 4.41m set in 2007 by Dana Buller only to find that Kelsie Hendry of Saskatoon had cleared 4.45m in Colorado Springs.
Tabia Charles of Toronto jumped 6.60m in Ithaca, NY to break the current mark of 6.57m set by Krysha Bayley in 2005. This gives Tabia a perfect set, now holding the Canadian marks both indoor and outdoor at the long and triple jump. Finally, Mohammed Ahmed of St. Catherine’s, Ontario broke the Canadian Junior record in the 5000m. The freshman at the University of Wisconsin ran 14:05.59 in Seattle on Saturday.
