I was doing everything, she says.  If a normal person saw me they couldn t tell anything happened. I was playing volleyball, basketball, track and gymnastics.<br> The doctors actually say my back is stronger because of the bone they took from my hip to fuse my spine. I have no side effects, none. It s amazing. Sometimes I forget the whole accident happened. <br>Pressed on the subject, she admits to some weakness in the right leg.  I need to compensate with the left, she says,  but I m working on fixing that in the run. It doesn t stop me, but it is a technical point I need to work on. <br>Christi attained her present height and weight of 5-foot-3 and 130 pounds early, and gymnastics gave way to track and the pole vault. She began working at Wichita Extreme Athletics with brothers Randy and Darrin Bryant. The center works with dance, tumbling and cheerleading, but because both brothers vaulted in high school, they also coached vaulters. Randy has been to two Olympics and coached in Australia and Mexico. The two trainers are highly technical in their approach, and they believe that Christi has the raw talent and drive to make her mark in the vault.<br>Christi s best vault at press time was 12.1 feet. She feels that won t sand for long as she enters her senior year. With her scholastic achievements, she s confident she ll receive a scholarship in the va respect of his coaches and teammates, it wasn t always that way.  I remember coming in here and just wanting to contribute to the team, says Gizzi, who turns 23 in March.  I wasn t heavily recruited by a lot of schools, and the Academy gave me a chance. I wanted to do my best, and I m pleased with the way things have gone. <br>One facto that helped him achieve his accomplishments was a strong base strength that he built at Cleveland St. Ignatius High School in his hometown of Brunswick, Ohio. The school is a perennial high school powerhouse and was ranked by USA Today as number one. It has a great program by Chuck Kyle, and Gizzi has nothing but fond memories of his high school athletic career.  We pretty much follow the BFS program, with plyos Monday and Friday. It was a tremendous program that helped me form good habits that I ve been able to build upon. <br>When asked if he wanted to recognize any major influences on his success, Gizzi didn t hesitate to mention his high school coach, who he says was never too busy to help him with his off-season training. In addition, Gizzi says he s thankful for his lifting buddies who were always there to push him and help him out.<br>Gizzi s influence is still present at his high school. Says Coach Kyle,  Gizzi is one of those kids that, years later, players still talk about.  In the weightroom, he s like Gizzi! That s what the players will say around here. And every year he stops by in fact he helps out a little bit in the summer when he can and it s great. Our kids will see the way he approaches each workout the way he
