T&Fn Interview good cheers. T&FN INTERVIEW T&FN: Yet you’ve preferred high jumping to hoops. Why? Acuff: I think I’m probably just a little bit more introverted, and in a team sport you’re limited because you may be willing to work harder and longer than your teammates, whereas in track you can just go out and go nuts and it’s all on your shoulders—both the blame and the success. Amy Acuffsleeping or my mood or the color of my tongue T&FN: And the financial risk and reward.

    USA TRACK & FIELD PACIFIC ASSOCIATION FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 21, 2007 Contact: Fred Baer Women’s Track & Field Chair Phone: 650-345-4114 Will She Jump Over the San Mateo Bridge? 3-TIME OLYMPIAN AMY ACUFF TO HIGH JUMP AT CSM SUNDAY Three-time Olympic high jump champion Amy Acuff and Olympic discus thrower Stephanie Brown Trafton head the early entries for Sunday’s (May 27) USA Track & Field Pacific Association Grand Prix Championships at College of San Mateo. Competition begins at 9 a.m. with the 10,000 meters. Field events start at 10 a.m. and the women’s high jump is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Kim Kreiner set an American record in the women’s javelin throw at last year’s championships at CSM and is considering a return to the new Mondo facility, which calms competitors and spectators with spectacular bay views. That will be the final event of the day, following the 2 p.m. men’s javelin throw competition. Kreiner extended her AR again last week, throwing 210 feet, 7 inches, in Brazil. Acuff, who earlier this year moved to Northern California (Isleton), placed fourth in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens in a dramatic four-woman competition for the three medal positions. WILL AMY JUMP OVER THE SAN MATEO BRIDGE? Acuff is America’s No. 2 all-time high jumper with her best of 6 feet, 7 inches (2.01 meters) in 2003. Only five Americans have cleared the elusive 2-meter barrier and Acuff has done it four times! She has won eight USA high jump titles (five outdoors) and, while attending UCLA, took five NCAA crowns (three indoors).
