Personal Statement
I’ve been competing in gymnastics for the past 10 years and it has taught me the value of hard work and determination. Last summer, one of my gymnastics teammates convinced me to come to her pole vault club practice, and I was hooked. I started pole vaulting with Patriot Pole Vault Club (PPV) in July of 2021. Working with high school and college coaches associated with PPV, my skills have developed quickly. This spring I will be competing for my high school team for the first time. I’m very excited to put my new skills and passion to work for my high school. I want to vault on a college team and believe that with hard work and focus, I will get there.
