The reigning world indoor champion and South American record holder in the pole vault, Fabiana Murer of Brazil, will be the star vaulter at the 104th Millrose Games, USA Track & Field announced today.  Murer, 29, who has a personal best of 4.85m (4.82 indoors), will be making her Millrose Games debut and her photo will grace the cover of the meet program.  Her top challenger will be American record holder Jenn Suhr of Rochester, N.Y., the 2008 Olympic silver medallist who has jumped higher than Murer both indoors (4.83m) and out (4.92).  "That should be a great match-up," said Jill Geer, USATF chief public affairs officer.  Meet organizers said that there would be no men's pole vault at Millrose this year.
