Pole Vault

2008 Outdoor: The whole Outdoor season was spent trying to make a mark for the Olympic Trials. Managed to jump over 13'6'' in every meet. Season best of 13'10'' .  Had a series of meets that I jumped at a PR of 14'1'' or higher. I have never had such a great succession of meets. I attempted 14'2'' 1/2 to 14' 4" in at least 4 meets. I managed to reach one of my goals in life and that was to qualify for the Olympic trials.  I was so happy to finish the season in such a great way. I was continuously getting stronger physically and increasing my skill level. That is everything you can hope for with competing in a sport.
