Jenna Ginsberg '13 Recruiting Profile

My name is Jenna Ginsberg, and i am  a senior this year at Geneva High School. Sports have always been an enormous part of my life; I have done gymnastics for many years, including what will be four years on the varsity level for my high school. Up until last spring (my junior year) i played soccer for both club teams and for my school; however, pole vaulting had always intrigued me so I decided to give it a try. I loved every minute of the season. Starting from zero, i continued to work and progress everyday, and i jumped 9'9" at sectionals. After having missed qualifiying for state by one jump, i went to practice the next day and cleared 10'3" (the 3A qualifying height). This has all been extremely exciting for me, as I have only been vaulting for a few months. I have a long way to go, but I believe I have a lot of potential. I am continuing to improve everyday through my club team Jump Hnigh Athletics, and I believe that both my background as a gymnast and my work ethic both in the classroom and on the runway will help me to succeed as a student athlete.
