what college are you planning on attending. With big jumps like you have already had, most colleges would take a look at you.

Um...i really have no idea. I'm only a junior so i figure i've got some time. I have wanted to go to Notre Dame ever since i can remember, but i haven't been to a lot of places so i really don't kno anything else. I went through a UCLA phase but they signed a ton of people for next year and i dont kno if they'll be looking for more. But i've always wanted to get away from the midwest ...ND being the only exception. A few people have contacted me through email, but i'm pretty much an unknown right now.

i am gonna be honest, I had never head of you, but if you keep jumping they way you are, you will get some press. Notre Dame, as I am sure you know, have 2 great freshman this year. They are graduating some seniors this year so they may be looking for more. I will see their coach in 2 weeks at the Big East Championships, I will ask him if he plans to be looking for more women down the road.

Thanks! That would be awesome...Let me know what he says. I know they have two good freshman vaulters. I went to watch a meet there on January 17th I think and the facilities are amazing! I was kinda surprized that the girls didn't jump that high but it's only the beginning of the season so I dunno. Good Luck at the Big East Championships! Where is it at?

It is at Akron this year. It is usually at Syracuse, but they are having the Carrier Dome modified. Notre Dame was a possibility to host it, but they just don't have any room for fans.

Well at state i only jumped 11. i did four events the first day and i was just worn out. at sectionals last year i jumped 12 and to jump 11 at state after that was disappointing to say the very least.
