It was a pleasure to be able to interview Leighann York and ask her many
of the questions that I have been wondering about. My first question was why
she chose to run track and what was her reasoning behind all her immense
dedication? York states that she "strives to be in the best shape" that she
can and that a lot of her friends ran track. York hopes to break the pole
vault record currently held by Brooke Miller at 9'2" in the 2017 season.
York plans to run the 4x100 relay (100m per runner x 4) and the 4x800 (2 laps
around the track). York was on the 4x100 Conference-winning relay last year.
York also plans to step up to run the 4x400 meter relay whenever it is needed.
Her goals for the year are to get a personal best in all of her running events
and a higher vault height (obviously breaking the record)! York's highest vault
in the 2016 season was 9'. Therefore, she is very close to breaking the record. With hard work and dedication, I have no doubt this athlete will soar in
the 2017 season.
