i had a lot of fun learning about blogs!! i really enjoyed getting to view everyones in the class!

Pole vaulting is an athletic event where a person uses a long, flexible pole (which today are usually made either of fiberglass or carbon fiber) as an aid to leap over a bar. Pole jumping competitions were known to the ancient Greeks, as well as the Cretans and Celts. It has been a full medal event at the Olympic Games since 1896 for men and since 2000 for women

it is so great that all of you are interested in what i do and ask questions. it really gets me to feel good.!!! it is such a great sport and i will post m0ore about it tomo!! thanks

Asked questions:

~ do you pole vault inside in the winter time?
They do make indoor pole vault pits. However, they are very expensive and you need a facilities that can hold the pit and that is hard to find. So in the winter it is a good idea to work on your form. There are many drills that will befit your vaulting for the Track season that can be done inside.

~How long did it take me to master the sport?
I started pole vaulting when i was in middle school. However, the more you do it the more you learn and there is always room for improvement. so i have not mastered the sport yet!

~How about the landing? That must have to be done just right as well.
The landing is actually the last step to really learn in pole vaulting. the take off and jump are way more important. plus it is pretty hard to hurt yourself on your way down because the pit is huge.

This is my rushford peterson track team. we went undefeated my senior year and we won state. it was the first time any female sport at rushford peterson has won a state competition.
