US indoor champion Katie Nageotte upset reigning world and Olympic women's pole vault champion Katerina Stefanidi and Ethiopians won two distance crowns at Boston Indoor Grand Prix athletics meet.
Nageotte cleared 4.86 meters to Stefanidi's best of 4.71 in the early season affair, the opening event of the six-meet IAAF World Indoor Tour.
"The first couple meets is just getting the rust off. It was just working out the kinks," said Nageotte, who hopes to dethrone the Greek star at the World Championships at Doha in September.
"That's what I'm gunning for," said Nageotte. "I want to come after this indoor season and attack it and get ready for worlds."
"I've had a good fall training. It gives you a lot of confidence."
"The aim was to win," Klosterhalfen said. "I was hoping to pick the pace up. I really wanted to run fast today but to win is OK."
- Eaton wins ugly -
===================
"It wasn't my cleanest race. It was ugly out there," Eaton said. "When things get ugly you just go out and compete ugly."
"It gives me a lot of confidence. I haven't been training that long. I'm in decent shape for early in the year."
