An end to a successful season

sm-joe_bama4.JPG

What a difference another year of hard work and dedication has made for me in the pole vault. Within the last 2 years, I have improved my personal record by 27 inches, from 12′6″ to 14′9″. As I gear up for another season, my eyes are already on the prize of jumping even higher heights. Not only am I aiming to join the 15′ club, but also to be in the top 3 at the Olympic Trials this July to seal a spot on the 2008 Olympic Team.

Highlights from the 2007 season…

~ Qualified to the 2008 Olympic Trials

~ Ranked 8th in the US, Ranked 39th in the world

~ August 2007, NAPVA Grand Prix Champion

~ June 2007, Placed 9th at the USA Outdoor Championships

~ May 2007, new personal record of 14’9 / 4.50m

~ March 2007, new personal record of 14’5.25 / 4.40m

~ Qualified for USA Outdoor Championships in Indianapolis, IN

~ February 2007, new personal record of 14’1.25 / 4.30

~ February 2007, 6th at the USA Indoor Championships

What’s ahead: the mission and goals

Mission: Aspiring for the Perfect Vault

Goals: Top 3 at Olympic Trials & PR of 15’6”
