Bartolina Athletics History

History
Bartolina Athletics came about as the fulfillment of a lifelong dream to provide young athletes with the opportunity to succeed to best of their abilities and not be hindered by a lack of technical knowledge or facilities.  The result of that dream has now taken shape in the countryside north of Hammond, Louisiana.  From providing training equipment and facilities to nutritional counseling and technical consulting, Bartolina Athletics is here to assist you to be as successful as possible in the athletic realm.

Bio
Bartolina Athletics is owned and operated by 2008 USA Olympic Pole Vaulter Erica Bartolina.  In her 15 year career as a pole vaulter, Erica has made one US Olympic team, qualified for the Olympic Trials twice, won two Big 12 Championships while competing for Texas A&M University, won the Oregon high school state championship, and has competed in 14 different countries around the world.  And she accomplished all of this while overcoming a childhood accident that left her with only one eye.
