Enjoyed a stellar career for the Manhattan track & field program, running for coaches Dan Mecca and Joe Ryan. More than a decade after graduating, three of Poole's Jasper records still stand. Indoors, she ran the 200 meters in 24.22 seconds at the New York Sports Museum Invitational at the Armory as a senior, and two weeks later she was a part of the 4x400 meter relay squad that posted a time of 3:41.01 in the Jasper Relays at the Armory. Outdoors, she and her teammates put another 4 x 400m record on the board in 1997, when they posted a time of 3:39.64 to beat schools such as Maryland, St. John's, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and Villanova at the highly competitive Penn Relays. She earned All-East Honors four times, both as an individual and relay runner. During her career she set more than a few meet records at both the MAAC and Metropolitan Championships. Again, she showed her teamwork by scoring as both an individual in the 200 meters and a member of the 4 x 400 meter and 4 x 100 meter relay teams. The Met record was set at the Armory in the 4x400 meter relay with a time of 3:45.21. She also took a Met Conference title at Rutgers University as a member of the 4x400 meter relay team and qualified individually for the U.S. Junior Nationals.
