(PB: 5-11 1/2) - University of Washington - 2X Washington State High Jump CHAMPION!!
I met Hugo back in 2009 after being invited to jump in the Kangaroo High Jump Festival. Hugo’s passion and excitement for jumping is absolutely contagious! I remember leaving the festival with such an eagerness to go home and continue working on my jump. There is no one else I know who loves their job more than Hugo. Jumping is such a technical event, and it takes a certain type of person to have the ability to coach people of all ages how to master these techniques. I have worked with several coaches over my high jumping career however none of them compare to Hugo and his teaching styles. He really takes pride in every single athlete no matter what level they’re at. I owe so much of my progress to him, and if anyone helped me love the High Jump more than I already did it would be Hugo!
