This is the main purpose for this canal, to shorten the passage that ships have to travel. This saved a lot of money on fuel that ships had to use to go around the continent.

In the spring of my sophomore year I decided to rejoin the track team. After the first week, I noticed a new coach was on the far side of the football field working with a few kids teaching them to pole vault, so I went over and started to learn the basics of vaulting.

Many of them impacted on objects within the…
