Outdoor - Season cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic.
High School: 2019 graduate of Edcouch-Elsa High School in Elsa, Texas … Coached by Juan Aguinaga and Jaime Ochoa … Competed in pole vault, 100m, 4x100 and 4x200 relays … Produced a personal best of 13-3 in the pole vault … Placed seventh in pole vault at 2019 Texas Relays with a clearance of 13-0 … Runner-up in pole vault at Texas A&M High School Classic, clearing an indoor best of 12-1 ¼ … As a junior in 2018, runner-up in Region IV-5A pole vault with a 13-3 clearance to qualify for State meet … Runner-up at Texas Relays with a 12-6 ¾ mark … In 2017, as a sophomore, placed fourth in Region IV-5A pole vault (11-6) after clearing 12-0 to win Area meet … Had a season best of 12-1 to win RGVCA Meet of Champions.
Personal: Bianca Alexa Cardenas is the daughter of Victor Cardenas and Yasmin Acosta, born September 21, 2000 in Weslaco, Texas … Hometown is Elsa, Texas … Has five younger siblings, Jose, Derek, Isa, Ruben and Penelope … Chose Texas A&M because of the amazing academic opportunities and to further my track and field career … Started competing in track and field at age 13 … Majoring in Kinesiology Motor Behavior.
Tidbits: Career goal is to become a physical therapist … Chose track and field over other sports since I saw an opportunity to continue in the pole vault collegiately.
Top three things on my bucket list: Open a pole vault academy, travel to different countries, and hopefully go to the Olympics for Pole Vault.
