End of Semester…Season Starts

Hey guys,

First meet is coming up Saturday and I vaulted long approach for the first time yesterday! And shockingly it went really well, I got on a new pole and felt really good in the air…makes me a lot less nervous for the first meet :-)  We are also getting uniforms today! Excited for that!  Sadly finals are coming up in school…just finished one a second ago, so one down four more to go.

New Season Starting!

Many of you may not know me, but I am Alex LeBlanc and I graduated from Oakmont 2 years ago. Last year I pole vaulted at RPI and the team and coach were great. One problem was the head coach hated the vaulters, and that became a pain. Luckily now I am at Fitchburg State and the head coach loves the vaulters :) so that’s a good start for me here. Last week I started training with the pole vault coach and we ran and weight lifted a lot and now I can barely move; lesson I learned from that is not to take the summer off next year! The official season starts next week and I am very excited to get started and get back into shape so I can vault higher this year!!!
