Finished 4th they take top 3 to Rio bummer

---Isn't there a alternate spot that she stays and practices with the team---I know injuries in the past have had lower than 3rd place finishers compete in their place---well pretty sure!!

[VObserver]

She finished 4th at 15'1". Third was 15'5", second was 15'7", and 15'9" won it.

Unsure on alternate rules, but on a high note, a 4th place finish by a recent graduate means an apparel deal and meets in Europe to make a little cash on the line With that said, 3rd place would have meant the same but lot more leverage to negotiate a better deal.

Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns All-American Morgann Leleux recorded a personal-best in the pole vault, clearing 15 feet 1 inch, but finished fourth overall on Sunday at the U.S. Olympic Trials at Hayward Field.
