Stacy Renée Dragila (née Mikaelson; born 25 March 1971 in Auburn, California) is an American former pole vaulter. ==Early life== Stacey grew up in the rural town of Auburn. When her older brother Eric got involved with Rodeo, she followed him into the sport. She also participated in gymnastics, but had to give it up due to childhood asthma. She attended Placer Union High School where she played volleyball and ran on the track team as a sprinter, hurdler and jumper. Early on, she didn't feel she was living up to her potential. She got coaching from Yuba Community College's John Orognen. She managed to get to the finals of the 300 meters hurdles at the CIF California State Meet, but didn't place.〔http://lynbrooksports.prepcaltrack.com/ATHLETICS/TRACK/1990/gwi_res.pdf〕 She placed second at the Golden West Invitational in the 400 meters hurdles.〔http://lynbrooksports.prepcaltrack.com/ATHLETICS/TRACK/1990/gwi_res.pdf〕 After high school, she continued to Yuba College and continued with Orognen, working on hurdles and eventually spreading her effort to the heptathlon. Her primary focus was to gain a track scholarship to a four year school. Orognen was diagnosed with lung cancer. From his death bed he advised her to pursue her dreams without compromise. Dave Nielsen offered the promising heptathlete a scholarship to Idaho State University. While there, her scores improved to the respectable range of 4,700 to 4,800 points, but she seemed to reach a ceiling. She also married Iraq war veteran Brent Dragila. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stacy Dragila」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
