Maine –The competitive Waterville Senior High School junior said she didn’t want to show anything but her best on the track. Sarah Shoulta is competitive. Anything else, she said, wouldn’t be her best. “I never want to put anything out there that’s not my best work,” Shoulta, a junior at Waterville Senior High School, said. “I don’t want to regret anything.” Shoulta had nothing to regret after the Class B indoor track and field state championship meet last month at Bates College. Shoulta took individual title in the 55 hurdles and pole vault, and helped the Waterville girls win their fourth consecutive team title. Shoulta vaulted nine feet to win the pole vault title. Shoulta gravitated to the pole vault for a simple reason. “Who doesn’t want to fly?” she said If Shoulta continues her improvement, she’ll fly even higher in the spring season. “She’s really close to taking a huge leap forward,” Wilson said. “I think if all the pieces come together, she can go 11 feet.” Shoulta said she knows exactly what she needs to do to improve her vaults. “I know it’s just my start. I need to be faster,” Shoulta said. “I’d love to clear 11 feet.” more
