New heights... these are what I try to strive for in everything I do. This is my attempt to document the new heights I work toward as after my career as a collegiate track athlete, specifically a pole vaulter came to an end. I know there are still many new heights to be reached!

off to a good start...
So practice actually began a week and a half ago, but with all the craziness going on with school, I have not had a chance to post. It has been really nice having practice again. Life is even crazier, loosing those three hours, but I really enjoy spending time there. Lifting has gone well. Maxed essentially the same as fall camp. Running has also felt really good! The best part though has been pole vaulting. He has us doing one handed jumps all of the time now. It was a little weird at first, but I like it. Really makes me jump up. today we started working them to flats. The greatest improvement for me came on the take off. I am actually jumping up rather than just getting pulled off the ground, which is particularly noticeable with these cause it hurts my shoulder. Coach got all excited today because of the excess energy that gave me at take off. If this keeps up, it is gonna be a good year.
