Hello, I know I have not blogged since indoor season and I apologize for that. Everything was crazy with ending my senior year including track and homework and prom and graduating and much more. However, I would like to end my high school track career with a blog to wrap things up.
So it's been a busy couple of days. Last Wednesday I had a meet at Illinois Wesleyan where I ran in the 4x200 and I pole vaulted. I anchored the 4x200 and I felt like I ran a pretty good leg but I got spiked in the knee when I was passing a girl. After my race I was not feeling very well because I was very light headed and dizzy for some reason.
So I arrived back in good ole Bloomington, Illinois this morning at 6:30 and to say the least I am exhausted. I had one of the best weekends of my life in New York City at New Balance Indoor Nationals.
Last weekend was very exciting because it kicked off my senior track season. I had a meet on both Friday and Saturday. Friday I had a meet in Jacksonville, Illinois and Saturday was the annual Windy City Pole Vault Summit in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. I was very pleased with the way this weekend turned out with it being my first meets and having them back to back as well.
Hello, for those of you who do not know me, I am Sarah Bell and I am from Bloomington IL. I am a senior at Central Catholic High School. I participate in both varsity golf and track and field but my main sport is pole vault. For my first blog I would like to give my background on pole vault and how I came to be the athlete that I am today.
