Chaunte Howard-Lowe Clearing 2.04m/6'-8.25" AR, note by Larry Eder

Chaunte Howard-Lowe is on fire! At the 21rst Leisitzer Meeting, in Cottbus, Germany,
held on May 30, 2010, Chaunte cleared 2.03m, tying the US record of Louise Ritter. On her third attempt at 2.04m, Chaunte Howard-Lowe put it all together, and put her name on the
American record. Louise Ritter’s 2.03m/6-7.75 was now a former AR. The current AR
is now 6′-8.25″ or 2.04m, and the record holder is Chaunte Howard-Lowe. Enjoy the video.
