Personal Statement
I started pole vaulting the summer after my freshman year. I've been competing for around a year and a half with only a couple meets per season during my sophomore year. My pr was only 11 at the time and I only competed twice indoor and 5 times outdoor. After some summer training, I ended up clearing 14 feet the first meet of my indoor season in junior year and qualified for nationals after clearing 14'10 the third meet of indoor that same year. Going into outdoor, I was consistently clearing 14 feet without much improvement or regression due to the fact I had a lot of trouble with my step during practices.
