About Me

About Me

I am a passionate, creative and competitive person. Pole vaulting is my number one favorite thing to do, and in my free time I enjoy doing art. Sports drive me to be the best person I can be, both physically and mentally. I love being part of a team and being able to contribute to its success. While I am very competitive, I have learned when to take a step back to make sure I do not put too much pressure on myself and am able to enjoy and have fun in my sport.

Bill Ballard

Former WFHS T&F Coach, Silvana's World History Teacher

I have coached track and field for 31 years Silvana has a huge upside with the potential to be a multi athlete in college, she is a hard working student/athlete and will be a positive teammate and pleasure to coach

Inessa Shaurouskaya

Inesa Shaurouskaya

Head Coach at Infinity Gymnastics

I Love her attitude towards life! She always knows what to aim for! Very proud of her. Very glad to meet her in my life

Rick Zacholski

Silvana’s LJ Coach

This past year, I had the privilege of being invited back on staff to coach track and field. Coach Tillery and myself were named the head coaches back in 2007 and we have been blessed with some very fine athletes over the years coaching together. This past year I was able to meet and work with a young lady who was just committed to working hard and making an impact as an athlete for our program. When practice started up in late January, Silvana stood out and as a coach, I could truly see she was going to develop into a fantastic athlete. She became my second best long jumper this past year and was so easy to work with as I introduced her to some new drills which not only helped her technique, but also her confidence on the runway. Her ability to balance her two field events, (long jump and pole vault) as well as contribute to our sprints and relays, is what every coach desires in their career. Silvana is a very special young lady and gifted athlete who performs well under pressure and trains in a smart way to get the most from each practice session. I look forward to seeing her develop next year as I know she “sets the bar high” with the desire to set new school records.

Robert Jenkins

WFHS T&F Coach, Silvana's APUSH Teacher

Silvana combines speed, power, and technique to be one of the best pole vaulters in the state. Also of equal importance is her ability in the classroom, where she excels. This will give her a big advantage at the next level.

Abraham David Garcia

Owner, Head Coach at Imperium Athletics

In the time that I interacted with the athlete Silvana, she made her dedication and enthusiasm known in each training session, a great technical learning, as well as a great advance in strength. Without a doubt, an athlete with a great desire to improve herself day by day!
