I’m an 18 year old senior at Edison Preparatory currently comfortably jumping 13 feet and getting better and better week by week. I am on a steady track to be jumping higher and higher with a goal of ending my track season jumping at 14 feet. In the 8th grade, I tried pole vault being told I wasn’t a good candidate for any other events, after I had always been the worst in the team‘s event trials. My coach at the time saw my attempt at pole vault as puny and told me I was not meant for the sport at all and there was not much for me to do on the team. As a means of retribution and to prove to myself I had a worth in this world of track and field , I kept trying over and over, vault after vault. Soon there wasn’t a sole within the surrounding counties that could out vault me, I was the best in my school system regardless of grade . After a change in schools I remain the best in the county and currently # 2 in 5a state. In my junior year with a very spotty practice schedule and a limitation of poles and coaches I jumped a merely 10 foot 6 inches at state. After a self reset to give the sport my all I have raised my PR by almost 3 feet and completely changed my vault form within a matter of 3 months.
