We’re excited to introduce Jake, a junior pole vaulter at SEMO! 🔴⚫

Originally from Bakersfield, California, Jake moved just outside Nashville, Tennessee, during high school, where he discovered his passion for pole vaulting after 8 years as a competitive gymnast!

🏆 Personal Best: 5.20m (17’0.75”), earning him 1st place at Georgia Tech!

🌟 A few fun facts about Jake:
• He has 4 siblings!
• He spent 8 years competing in gymnastics before switching to pole vault.
• His favorite way to unwind is visiting the beaches of California. 🌊☀️

We’re proud to support hardworking SEMO athletes like Jake and can’t wait to see him continue reaching new heights! ❤️🖤

The last few years haven’t gone the way I imagined. Injuries and health challenges changed my path and tested me in ways I never expected. But through it all, I’ve grown stronger, more resilient, and more grateful.

While things didn’t work out the way I had hoped at the University of New Mexico, I’m incredibly thankful for my coaches, teammates, support staff, and everyone who was part of my journey. I’ll always appreciate the opportunity to wear the Lobo jersey and everything I learned along the way.

Sometimes, a different path leads to a better opportunity. I knew it was time for a fresh start in a new environment where I can continue to grow, get healthy, and chase my goals.

I’m excited to announce my commitment to Southeast Missouri State University to continue my academic and athletic career.

A special thank you to @dgauson for believing in me and supporting me throughout my time at New Mexico. And a thank you to @lanesgotwood for giving me the opportunity to continue pursuing my goals at Southeast Missouri State. I’m grateful for your belief in me, and I can’t wait to get to work.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey and helped me get to this point. I’m excited for what’s ahead.

The process continues. ❤️🖤
