Madison Depner '13 Recruiting Profile

My name is Madison Depner. I am currently a 5'4" 113 lb. Senior at Trinity High School in Camp Hill, PA.  I have been pole vaulting for 2 years.  My first competitive jump was 8'  and now my PR is 11'3".   I love the sport and my coach has me practicing with the bungee set at 12', which I am continually striving for.  I became interested in pole vaulting after I ended my 10 years of gymnastics competition.  I really feel that gymnastics has helped me with my pole vaulting, as I had such intense strength training workouts, so I value the benefit of being the strongest I can possibly be.  I have no fear of jumping high after performing routines on the high bar for gymnastics.  I am very driven because I know that hard work pays off, in 2 years,  I added 3 feet to my jump.  This year it is my goal to focus more strictly on pole vaulting, and to nail the 12' mark.  I hope to attend a college where my vaulting would help benefit your team.  I would like to attend college on the east coast but if something else wonderful comes along, I will consider going anywhere.  I am undecided with my major but  Meteorology and Homeland Security both interest me.  I am looking for a school that has a competitive athletics program that I could contribute to, and most importantly a school that has a good academic reputation.
