 In my first years of coaching, I was able to coach a 14 year old female high jumper leap 5’9” and developed an awesome group of young ladies ages 12-13 years into one of the top 400m relay teams in the USA! One of the members of that relay squad also long jumped 19’2” (a world record for this age group at the time!). Over my career, I’ve coached an Olympic Champion (1996 High Jump Charles Austin),  an Indoor World Record Holder (1982 High Jump-first woman in the world over 2.00m (6’6’¾”) Coleen Sommer, 5 women high jumping over 6’4”, 3 men high jumping over 7’5” & several Olympians, State Champions, & School Record Holders. I’m the only female coach to have coached NCAA champions in long jump, triple jump, & high jump.
