After being encouraged by fellow pole vaulter sophomore Jamie Poppen, freshman Kacie Bergh became a pole vaulter during track and field. At the beginning Bergh faced the challenge of getting the correct form, but started putting the motions together after weeks of practice. “I was able to pole vault over six feet, so my next goal is six and a half feet.  Unfortunately, I injured my knee so now my coaches said I needed to stop running or pole vaulting so I had to quit pole vaulting.  I was really mad because I enjoyed pole vaulting more.  Coach Sheppard made practices fun with his jokes,” Bergh said.
