So today we had a meet…and I thought I did decent compared to some of the other girls because I only had 1 scratch and they all had 2 or more. But somehow I got 5th place. The guy who scored PV said that when people scratch out on the same height, instead of counting the # of sctratches, he lo...

I get called ninja because I have a bad habit of instead of getting over the bar, I kick out and knock it way off the mat. Its funny to watch.

Just out of curiosity- what does oprah smell like? I'm not too sure, but she doesn't look like she smells very pleasant...perhaps she smells a bit like Donald Trump's sweat stains as he says, (insert hand motion here) "YOU'RE FIRED!" http://www.azreporter.com/news/features/newsweek/images/trumpfire...

I wear Nike presto socks with my spikes. They are thin, but tight and really breatheable...like a second skin. So I don't get blisters and my feet and my spikes always smell like ROSES! Wear socks dude...you don't wanna have feet that smell like Oprah.

We can't practice on our pits because the coach won't let us unless we have the PV coach there...and we don't have a PV coach. So I always spend my practices running laps with my pole (killer, I don't recommend it, it sucks!), TONS of ab work, push-ups, pole plants, plants on the track, acceleration...

Try straying from the norm and doing something completely original, i.e. make the shirts yourself with a brand new design. Last year for regionals a teammate and I got some of that Avery iron-on transfer paper from Wal-Mart and made shirts from a design I made on the computer. They kicked a**. I put...

Last season I borrowed an 11' Pacer Mystic from another school to vault on. It was really light, really short, and really bendy and I vaulted great. However, this season that school and our school are on bad terms and I am not allowed to borrow their poles. So I am stuck with the pole at our school:...

Don't worry about it homie, the worst thing you can do is get pissed and frustrated. I know you're a lot older than me and have a lot more experience, but all I did freshman year in HS was get mad/pissed because I couldn't improve and I would cry all the time. Since then I have just chilled out to a...

I got hit with a pretty bad case of mono a week ago, and the fatigue is pretty intense. I stay awake for 3 hours, then I nap, then stay awake for a few hours, then sleep etc. I have NO energy, and before I knew I had mono, I tried running and could hardly finish a mile...okay, to be honest I didn't ...

I look like that pole vaulter who has no form and when she messes up, she flails out her legs and usually ends up crashing into the standards and/or falling off the mat. You know which vaulter that is? Oh wait...thats me...

Wow...I think I have a headache now from reading all those qualification things. Eesh...anywho, for anyone interested, in Virginia schools are divided into A, AA, and AAA. However A does not have PV, so screw them. In AA and AAA, you can qualify for states at any meet with 10 teams or more (I think)...

Haha, I have seen that episode So many times! If only you culd learn pole vault in a day. And if only 6' could get you the championship! You ahve to admit though, it was one big step for Disney to do an episode with pole vault. I would like ot see Lizzie McGuire try to do that...
