New Braunfels pole vaulter Laura Koenig is about to see four years of hard work pay off.

It’s not that the senior isn’t excited about her immediate future, which includes her fourth trip to the regional track meet and possible third straight appearance at state. She’s perhaps even more enthralled with getting a scholarship to attend the University of Houston.

Koenig, flanked by her family and coaches, signed a letter of intent Tuesday to attend UH.

“It’s a real good track program and the academics are real good,â€Â

Congrats LoKo!!! That's so exciting and such a relief I'm sure!! You're going to do so awesome in Houston!! Lone Star is well represented there! Get healed up and keep jumping high!!!

Thanks Brit!!! You get healed up too!! BIG THANKS to you, your family, and EVERYONE else who has been there to support me through four some-what rough seasons!! The Lone Star crew is awesome!!!!

Congrats LOKO!!! You are an awesome vaulter no matter how much your legs try to keep you from it... You got regionals in the bag!!! Oh, and by the way, nice interview... I'm sure everything there will be really "good." Haha!

Congrats LoKo, I have really admired the way you handled your surgery and rehab, You're one of my favorite vaulters and people. Good luck on your upcoming surgery and rehab, I'll be thinking of you on that monday.

LoKo I'm so happy for you! You're awesome!

I'm all for having an annual Loko Vaultfest. You could bronze her helmet and give it to the winner each year. Pass it around like the Stanley Cup. Since she's from NB, you'd have to vault in lederhosen or with a tube around your waist to be eligible.

I like it!!! Any requirements on the size of the tube you jump in??? This would be great at the Allison Ranch!!!
