NB vaulter Koenig pens with UH


By Will Wright
The Herald-Zeitung


Published April 21, 2005


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

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.
