why?

i have already dropped long distance track, for polevault...i dont want to stop XC too because, it would look bad on a college app to run 3 years then quit my senior year.

Do cross country if you wanna do cross country. But don't use college applications as an excuse to keep doing it. All they see is a kid that spent 4 years doing a lot of sports. The majority of schools look no farther than the GPA and SAT unless those are low. But if you apply with a 4.5 and 2000 t...

its not that i wouldn't want to so much as, i probably wouldn't get high enough to vault in college and make the team.

I'm 16, and I don't plan on vaulting in college or beyond that. i have a coach that i could get to 3 times a week, at most. But realistically i might be able to get there once a week, just because of money and time. He thinks i could get to 14ft by next season, if i keep up with his program, but i c...

I have also started to lift weights every other day with sprints on the da...

i want to try hurdles but i think im too slow, because i do distance and polevault. but i am pretty tall, on the chart in an earlier post, 6'3 puts me in the 95 percentile for 20 year olds and im only 15.

I was wondering if it was just our league or if it's fairly constant to have very few female vaulters. In fact in my league there was only 1 female frosh soph vaulter, and that's out of like 3 schools
