Scott Engstrom '24 Recruiting Profile

I decided I was going to track my sophomore year. One of my future track coaches was my chemistry teacher and he kept asking me if I was going to try pole vault. I finally gave in, and I was terrible. I could not hold on to the pole because I was too scared. My coach then taped me to the pole in order for me to trust myself. That was the only time I had to be taped to the pole and now I love pole vaulting and wish I had started earlier. He is still forcing me to keep improving myself day after day because he wants me to be better than he was in high school.
