: : I am a vaulter in Texas and I am currently vaulting 12'6 and I still have one entire year to go and what do I need for colleges to look at me.
Here are several items to consider....
- what part of the country does she/he enjoy and want to spend 5 years in? climate, weather, people...
- what field of study is he/she considering, and does the school have the field/major?
- is it a solid vault school, a stable staff with some tradition? surf their webpages.
- Division I, II, III or NAIA or a Jr. College? how big of a frog in how big of a pond?
- grades and PSAT/ACT and GPA and rank in her/his grade...can she/he get into the schools he/she chooses?
look over this site for the NCAA...check the archives to see which schools send athletes to nationals on a regular basis....who has tradition?
