Hello, my name is Annika Hummel and I am currently a junior at Mechanicsburg Area Senior High School (PA).
I began pole vaulting during the fall of 2018. I participated in gymnastics for 10 years prior to joining the indoor jump club of VaultWorx, where I started my vaulting career. With my ability to learn and adapt quickly, I was able to pick up the sport in a short amount of time. During spring of sophomore year, my first season that I competed in this event, I raised my PR from 7'6 to 11' in a matter of a few months.
My ability to self motivate and work hard under any circumstance allows me to continue to improve my technique. My coaches would say I have lots of potential for the future, and I am beyond excited to progress both mentally and physically in this sport. My desire to clear each bar motivates me to continue to give full effort into each practice and meet . Going into my junior season (and second year of the sport) I am focused on many goals I have set forth.
On and off the track, I continually strive for excellence. As a student, I take all honors classes including a few AP courses. I am on First Honor Roll, and I have been inducted into my school's National Honors Society, which includes the top 10% of my graduating class. I always put forth tremendous effort into my education as well.
Thank you for your time!
Annika Hummel
