I love pole vault! I think this is because it is not something the normal person will have an opportunity to do in their lifetime. I love the thrill, the competitiveness, and how everything is dependent on how I can compete. In college, I hope to improve on my PR in pole vault and would love try decathlon in college as well. I started vaulting my first year of high school and have had several coaches in my high school career. My school also does not have the resources to provide me with an adequate progression of poles. I believe I will do much better when I am able to have an assortment of poles and consistent coaching. I would like to study an area of Engineering, and I am looking for a top-level academic program.
