I am an excellent student who is fully dedicated to academics and athletics, with plans to pursue my passion for pole vaulting at the collegiate level. At Barrington High School, I joined the Varsity Track & Field Team my freshman year and broke the school’s Sophomore Outdoor Pole Vaulting Record by jumping 13’9.75” in 2023; broke the All-School Indoor Record (tie) by jumping 13’ 11.25”; and recently broke the 11th Grade High School Outdoor Pole Vault Record by jumping 14’0” at the 2024 Boys Lake County Track & Field Invitational. I have a 3.90 GPA, SAT score of 1300, and received a 33 in the Reading portion of the ACT. I train throughout the year at Rise Pole Vault and am passionate about improving my athletic abilities so I can become the best that I can be. I pride myself in being a courteous and respectful team player, who is coachable and well-rounded, while being a leader on the team. I look forward to continuing my love for pole vaulting in college.
