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!

Conference tomorrow!!!
Been a while since I have posted, the past weeks have been pretty busy but have ended on a really good note. Finally got my approach figured out, turns out I was about 3 feet outside so that is why I was having a rough time taking off. Got that all fixed on thursday after I was an hour late to practice...rough morning. Clicked again at the pre meet this morning. Top end still isnt perfect, but easily cleared a 3.0 m bungee with a terribly ugly jump!!! had a great time spending time with the fam today, really glad they can all be here!!! starting to get nervous for tomorrow!!! Both teams are underdogs, but both could make up the gap!! Tomorrow is going to be a really exciting day!!! Ill let ya know how it goes!!

just another week...
this has been another really crazy week!!!!!! lots of school work and tests and lab reports, but I am finally on the home stretch, got one more test tonight, then done for the week! Practice has been alright. Monday we did not do much of anything. Did have a good day lifting though. Got up tuesday morning and ran 10 200s, every 3 mins. It was tough, but I was surprised how well I was able to do them. Wednesday was a jump day, got frustrated with pole vaulting so went to get some triple jump work done, came back to PV and was able to get off the ground a few times, my running style has now gone from linebacker to truck...not good. This morning we did runs with the sled and accelerations. Not too bad at all, but man are my legs sore, still from tuesday I think...

Another meet that was less than awesome. I managed to jump 2.91 this weekend...not really happy. Also, managed to triple jump 8.89ish again. Hopefully the next two weeks will be good before conference!
