Bronze Medal
for Spencer in Gothenburg
St.
Lucia’s world class high jumper Levern
Spencer won a bronze medal on her first full
indoor season in Europe. She was at the time
competing in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Spencer, who has been improving with every competition
on this tour, soared over the bar at 1.90 metres
to win her first medal on this tour. She had
previously cleared heights of 1.85, 1.87, and
1.89 metres respectively in earlier competitions.
With that performance, she defeated current
USA No. 1 Chaunte Howard who placed fourth with
a similar clearance.
This mark equaled the star high jumper’s
previous indoor best and placed her among the
top 15 in the world for this 2010 indoor season.
The event was won by Svetlana Skholina of Russia
with Marina Aitova of Kaz placing second. They
both had clearances of 1.92 metres.
