pole vaulter / gymnast Kelsie Hendry

Pole Vault coaches lurk around gymnastics gyms, eyeing the tallest gymnasts. Awaiting the day those gymnasts want to move on to another sport.

Her former gymnastics coach, Dana Brass, got the good news. Kelsie just finished 6th at World Championships in her new style of vaulting.

Congratulations.

And we are so proud of her! Keep it up Kels!

And it should be noted that coaching her was an absolute pleasure. A gift that I wish upon every coach.

I spoke with her today via Facebook chat – she is still in Qatar. She is pretty thrilled with the result!
