Australian Steven Hooker (6.01M) takes 2009 Millrose Pole Vault

At the 102nd Millrose Games Jan. 30, 2009 in New York, he cleared 6.01m/19-8.5 to set Australian, Millrose and Madison Square Garden records. It beat his outdoor personal best (6.0m/19-8.25), was the highest indoor vault ever on U.S. soil and made him the No. 4 indoor vaulter in history.

@JanJan -- the opening billboards say what you're about to see.......he clears Millrose/Australian record 6.01, then takes 3 stabs at WR.

The (borrowed) stills were of his winning (6.01) vault. The video is from his 3 failed attempts to clear heights above that, including 6.16.

Had he shaved down for the finals, he would have sailed over ;-)

[arushchannel]

are you guys retarted read the comments the still pictures are his 6.01 clearance and the video is the 6.16 attempt

It's better to rename this video : Steven Hooker 6m16 (failed)

at 1:18 the sign clearly says 6.16, not 6.01????

@olhspvault hooker jumped 6.06m indoors at the rebook games in boston in '09. I want to say. 6.06 is a fact the actual location may be wrong.

I think Tom Skipper has the best chance he vaulted 18'3" in high school
