The Hudson Valley Flying Circus Flying Club The Warwick Center for Pole Vault Development The Scenic Warwick Valley, NY ” I don’t have to win to prove anything…… ….competing at my best was all the satisfication I ever needed.” ~ Al Oerter(NYAC) 4 Time Olympic Champion Discus (USA)

Alicia Johnson(Monroe,NY) and her 18 Circus Team mates did just that last night at the 2021 CIRCUS GIRLS ELITE CHAMPIONSHIPS at The Circus Vault Indoor Barn. It’s hard to explain to others…the special atmosphere and strong bond of friendships that have been established the past 6 months of pole vault training with this exceptional group ao athletes. It was great to see and feel this support and this “spirit” of belonging to something bigger than oneself. Congratulations to all on acheiving these enduring qualities. On~to~our ~Next Challenges !!!!!!!!
