Aidan McLaren '19 Recruiting Profile

Hello im Aidan McLaren. I started Indoor track in my sophomore year and i pole vault. I didn't start pole vault until my outdoor season in my sophomore year. In Indoor 2016 I ran the 1000m and 800m. When i started pole vault i was able to get up to 8 feet and 6 inches in half a season with no experience whatsover. My track team doesn't have anyone that focuses on pole vault so i taught myself by watching videos and getting other vaulters advice. In my Indoor season i started pole vaulting for varsity and I've tied my PR but haven't made it over 8'6 mainly due to me driving with my left knee instead of my right. Also this season i started training with a man named Bryan Leggitt who reached 16ft and coaches pole vault. Ive cleared 10ft only once at practice. I want to pole vault in my senior year and in college, i just hope i can get high enough in 1 and a half year. Im a true team player. Everyday at the end of practice i say goodbye to everyone individually and in almost every event I'm cheering on my team. I want to study history because I’m always am adventurous and curious.
