“I started pole vaulting after sophomore year track season, and I joined a club in Seattle. I started training and started to really like it. I was able to make it to state, then regionals and then nationals in the first three months which was really exciting. I also got to compete with the best girls in the nation and it was a really fun experience. My coach is amazing and really helped me a lot. I also started power lifting during it which helped build strength as pole vaulting is a sport that requires a lot of strength. I definitely want to do pole vaulting in college and hopefully go to a good college like SDSU or in state but I’m just going to see how it goes and hopefully I can vault in college.”
