Jeffrey Linta '12 Recruiting Profile

Pole Vaulting is my passion, I am one of the hardest working athletes you will ever meet. I am also an incredably fast learner when it comes to the Pole Vault. Every coach i have worked with is amazed at how quickly i can learn and fix the errors in my vaults( including coaches like Olympian Lawrence Johnson).
