Heim had the following quotes after winning her national championship. On Moravian's tradition in the pole vault - "We've been fortunate to have such a great coach like Mike Lawryk helping the program out. He has so involved in the sport - really loves pole vaulting. He had a complete check list for coach Walt (Wandall) to go through with me today, and it all worked out."
On her National Championship Meet experience - "I just enjoy being part of the meet with my teammates. I try not to think about what height I'm trying to make...I just concentrate on the things I can control, especially in regards to the runway and the speed with which I get to hit the vault."
On her goals for the 2010 outdoor season - "I really want to make 14 feet. That is the big goal for the outdoor season."
