The participle phrase

1. Most species of Australopithecus were diminutive and gracile, usually standing 1.2 to 1.4 m (3 ft 11 in to 4 ft 7 in) tall.

I'd like to know if I can rephrase the underlined participle phrase to the following.

2. and they usually stand 1.2 to 1.4 m tall.

Thank you in advance for your help.
