Kianna Tucker '22 Recruiting Profile

Hi, I am Kianna Tucker and I began track and field in 8th grade after I quit gymnastics. I was a gymnast for about 4 or 5 years and I stopped because of an injury. I came into high school thinking I was going to sprint and then I was asked to try polevault because of my background and I instantly fell in love with it. I enjoy doing it and working hard to achieve my goals in the sport. A goal I have in high school is to beat the school record which is currently 13 ft. My plan to achieve this is to continue to vault and work on my form 3-4 days a week, as well as lifting to become stronger and running to become faster as well. 

As an athlete I would say my strengths are that I am persistent and determined. I would also consider myself a hard worker and I am willing to put the extra work in. My weakness is I tend to be hard on myself, but I am continuing to work on that and be more proud of myself and what I've accomplished. 

As well as athletics, in my education I always work to maintain good grades and I work to put my best effort in all of my assignments. 

I'm excited for the next steps in my future!
