People wonder why I drive the distances and volunteer the time I do for track and pole vault. This is why!
The memories, friendships and special moments!!
I remember the first time I saw this young lady vault, during Covid, at a meet I put together for AP Vaulting. Yesterday, I watched her vault her last college vault and take 4th in the nation while her teammate became a National Champion. I see and get to know so many of these vaulters at the meets I work that these moments are so special! I have a greater understanding of why Steve loved coaching pole vault! It's truly a special "family"!!!
