Riley Ryan '22 Recruiting Profile

I only started pole vaulting my sophomore year of high school, 2020. I was only able to get about half of a track season in without a pole vaulting coach due to the Covid-19 shutdown.  During my junior year, my school was only able to participate in the outdoor spring season. In the first half of the season, we were without a pole vault coach until about a few weeks left of the season. With the additional help of a coach I was able to finally PR, but I was extremely happy due to the fact that I was able to get feedback from an experienced coach. Now, my senior year.  The pole vaulters finally have a coach who is dedicated to working  with us and focus primarily on vaulting a couple days a week. I hope with the help of a coach I will be able to improve on my vaulting skills instead of 'winging it' based on my own research from previous years. I am solely dedicated to improving my athletic ability and am eager to see what the future holds!
