Hickerson Vaulting To Air Force Academy

By Staff Report-

Warsaw Community High School senior Claire Hickerson has signed a national letter of intent to attend the United States Air Force Academy to continue her pole vaulting career.
Hickerson owns the Warsaw school record for pole vault with her 11-foot, 6-inch mark. 
An IHSAA state championships qualifier as a sophomore, Hickerson has helped the Lady Tigers track and field squad to three-consecutive Northern Lakes Conference championships (2011-13), three consecutive sectional championships (2011-13) and back-to-back regional championships (2012-13). 
She was also a member of this past season’s Lady Tiger Cross Country squad that reached the state finals in Terre Haute.
Setting the bar high after school, it was only natural that Hickerson set the bar high in the classroom as well. 
Enrolled in numerous Academic Honors, dual credit and advanced placement courses, she compiled a 12.19 grade-point-average on a 12-point scale, and ranks in the top 6 percent of her graduating class.
A member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the Tiger Student Athletic Board and National Honor Society, the senior has made a positive impact on those around her and with others in the community.
Hickerson is set to earn Academic Honors Diploma when she graduates in June, and she intends to study engineering at Air Force.
Trained by area coaches John Bazzoni and Bob Shank along with the Lady Tiger staff, Hickerson is the third of four children of Jo and Bryan Hickerson.[[In-content Ad]]
