History: 2009 - New Balance Indoor Grand Prix
Taking place just a few months after the Beijing Olympics, the 2009 Reebok Boston Indoor Games saw three new national and continental records from three newly minted Olympic gold, silver and bronze medalists. Marblehead-native and Olympic bronze medalist Shalane Flanagan opened her 2009 season by breaking the eight-year old American Record for 5000m, finishing in a virtual dead-heat with Ethiopia’s Sentayehu Ejigu. In the women’s pole vault, Olympic silver medalist Jenn Stuczynski jumped 4.82m to finally break Stacy Dragila’s five-year old American Record in the Pole Vault, but fittingly, it was Olympic gold medalist Steven Hooker in the men’s pole vault that provided the most excitement. The accomplished Australian cleared 6.06m to shatter his own national and continental record and become the second highest pole vaulter in history, indoors or outdoors.
