try pole vaulting

If I ever take one second to be happy with myself, there are always half a dozen others willing and ready to one up me. That’s why I will never be happy with my vauling- I’ll pay for it later. 4 years ago

I cleared 7’ today…PR. I hope I don’t go back down. I think I can breathe now… 4 years ago

I was in high school. It was really hard. I sucked. haha 4 years ago

Today I lost my second place spot on the team.

I don’t know if I will ever recover fully. 4 years ago

Our first meet is on Thursday, and coach wants me to jump in it. I’ve jumped in scrimages, but haven’t done so well. I just need to get the turn! -that’s what I’ll be focusing on for the next two days leading up to it. 4 years ago

Since I last wrote, I think I’ve made alot of progress! We’ve done “tremors” (like in the movie- I didn’t see it, but it was kind of like little jumps half way up the pole on the ground), we’ve done a three step, and finally a seven step. The last was the best…I was so high up. I really think I could be good, I just need more practice. But so far it’s been the funnest part of track for me. 4 years ago

I guess I’m writing to myself about this…but I did the pole voting work out today! I missed track because of a long hockey meeting, but the volters stayed late. We were just indoors practicing running with it and dropping it at a certain point- it was fun! I can’t wait until we actually jump- 1st scrimage in a week, so I guess it will be soon! I just hope I don’t fall or mess up. 4 years ago
