High Jump Rankings

Change since the last rankings (February 11) in parens. Athletes in blue have been named to their national team for the World Indoor Championships. Some of the others may have as well, but I'm not yet aware of it.

MEN
Ukhov remains more or less untouchable. Williams moved to #2 with a good outing in Seattle and a solid win at the USATF meet. Despite a modest seasonal best mark (2.28), Tereshin tied for second at the Russian Championships, but didn't get the nod for Doha.

1. Ivan Ukhov
2. Jesse Williams (+2)
3. Yaroslav Rybakov (-1)
4. Andra Manson (-1)
5. Andrey Tereshin (+3)
6. Aleksey Dmitrik (+4)
7. Aleksandr Shustov
8. Jaroslav Bába (-2)
9. Linus Thörnblad (-4)
10. Dusty Jonas (-1)
11. Dmytro Dem'yanyuk (+3)
12. Raul Spank (-1)
13. Sergey Mudrov (+5)
14. Kyriakos Ioannou (-2)
15. Osku Torro (-2)
16. Viktor Shapoval (-1)
16. Tora Harris (-1)
18. Ivan Ilyichev (new)
19. Sylwester Bednarek (-2)
20. Samson Oni

WOMEN
Vlašic remains well above the rest. Friedrich was on the cusp of defeat at the German Championships before pulling out the victory over a surprising Kröger, 2.02 to 2.00. The top three have not met and are all undefeated; all are expected to compete at the World Indoor Championships.

1. Blanka Vlašic
2. Ariane Friedrich
3. Ruth Beitia
4. Irina Gordeeva
5. Svetlana Shkolina
6. Chaunté Howard Lowe
7. Viktoriya Klyugina (+2)
8. Anna Chicherova (-1)
9. Marina Aitova (-1)
10. Meike Kröger (+3)
11. Antonietta Di Martino (-1)
12. Emma Green (-1)
13. Iva Straková (-1)
14. Levern Spencer
15. Melanie Melfort
16. Nicole Forrester
17. Nadiya Dusanova
18. Ebba Jungmark (new)
18. Elena Slesarenko
20. Vicki Hubbard (new)
