EUGENE -- Katie Moon apparently can't get enough of ties.

Less than a month after sharing the gold medal at the World Championships, the American finished in a tie with Tina Sutej of Slovenia at the Prefontaine Classic at Hayward Field.

But unlike in Budapest, where it was left up to Moon and Nina Kennedy of Australia to come to a mutual agreement on ending the competition tied, this meet went to a jump-off with Moon besting Sutej for her first Diamond League crown.

Katie Moon to the MOON!

She becomes the Diamond League champion in the women’s pole vault.

“This one, with it being the last meet of the season, I wanted to give it one more good one," Moon said. "I’m just really happy that I was able to pull it together on that last attempt.”

Both Moon and Sutej cleared 4.81m/15-9.25 on their opening attempts. American Sand Morris and Wilma Murto of Finland both missed their first attempts and passed to the next height.

At 4.86m/15-11.25 Morris and Murto missed their final two attempts. Neither Moon nor Sutej was able to get over on their three chances, leaving them deadlocked on count back.

The competition then moved to a jump off at the same height. Moon cleared on her first try in sudden death and Sutej missed.

“The Diamond League trophy is one that evaded me for a while, so this was top of my list to win and I’m just so ecstatic that I could do it in Eugene, being a Nike athlete it’s just so special," Moon said. 

The World Championships rematch between Moon and Kennedy never really materialized as Kennedy was only able to clear 4.56m/14-11.5 before missing all three attempts at 4.71m/15-5.5, a height Moon cleared on her second try.

“It was me and Nina at Worlds but any one of those women could be on top of the podium at any given time," Moon said. "So I know that coming in and I always really try to stay focused and not get too ahead of myself and not get too excited.”
