BECKY’S BIO
Becky began pole vaulting in high school after
finishing a successful career in gymnastics. She advanced
quickly in the pole vault, finishing 4th place in the
state during her first year, and then winning the state title
her senior year – only her second year pole vaulting!
While at Clackamus Community College in Oregon,
Becky’s pole vaulting progressed rapidly, increasing her best
from 12’3” to 14’4” in only two years. After such great
performances at Clackamus, she had a decision to make. What
college would fit her the best? After considering many offers,
Becky decided to stay in the area and compete for the Ducks at
the University of Oregon.
Becky came into the track program during a time
of rebuilding, and she was one athlete that contributed greatly
to the rise of the Ducks’ program. While at Oregon, she won the
PAC-10 Championships, NCAA Championships, and set an NCAA
record!
After her final season at Oregon in 2003, Becky
quickly made the jump into the professional world of track and
field by finishing 3rd at USA Outdoor Nationals,
earning a spot on the World Championship Team in Paris. Since
then, Becky has been a constant name on the national pole vault
scene, and continues to improve. She has recently made a move
to the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA to train with
coach Dan Pfaff, one of the best coaches in the world. Keep an
eye out for some big things to come! |
