Derek Amlicke '23 Recruiting Profile

I'm a pole vaulter and excited to compete at the college level in Fall 2023. Throughout my life I've been a multi-sport athlete (soccer, lacrosse, baseball, diving, water polo, cross country, and javelin) but have found my passion pole vaulting in late spring 2021 and am on a mission to develop my technique & strength so I can compete at the collegiate level. I battled some minor injuries in spring 2022 but am healthy, with better technique now and looking to push much higher bars in my senior year (indoor and outdoor). My goal is to clear 15' by the end of senior year and am weight lifting and getting supplemental pole vaulting coaching with Coach St Lawrence in offseason to help me hit that goal.

Academically I'm also devoted and gaining momentum and look forward to finding a college where I can be challenged and pursue a business/economics major.
