It was exactly 6 years ago that we signed the lease for our indoor facility. We had been renting the track at a local high school, and for a time, jumping in our side yard! We only intended to have the space through the cold and rainy indoor season, but athletes kept showing up for practice. The ability to train independent of the weather meant that our vaulters benefitted from consistent practices and later that season, performed at the highest…
We are thrilled to acknowledge Julianna Hallyburton for her commitment to Colgate University! Julianna’s is a story of patience.

Duke was not on his college radar as he didn’t think he was good enough. When the coach from Duke visited the club last month, Jon vaulted his heart out. Coach Wilbourn started videoing his jumps and at the end of practice offered him a spot on the team. Success is where opportunity…
