Cowley College head track and field coach Mark Phillips, along with Tiger pole vaulters David Starnes and Anna German, are conducting a vault camp at the Tiger Track and Field Complex. The clinic is designed to help beginning as well as experienced vaulters learn to vault safely and correctly using technique drills and routines. Participants are front row, from left, Chris Mcglasson, Michael Helms, Patrick Neises, Dalin Mead, and Rachel Wagner. And back row, from left, David Starnes, Anthony Soto, Ky Biddle, Josh Phillips, Jeff Allen, Austin Showman, Val Bland, Nathan Lopez, Anna German, and coach Phillips.

A speed development camp will take place June 9-12 at the Tiger Track and Field Complex. Participants will meet from 8:30 a.m. to noon.

The speed development camp will teach drills and routines to help athletes from all sports become more efficient in their running technique and faster in their running ability. Video analysis will be used to help the participants learn. Phillips has coached 72 NJCAA All-Americans in the sprints.

The cost of the camp is $75. Pre-registration will run until June 8. Participants may also register at the track on June 9 between 8-8:30 a.m. Each participant who pre-registers will receive a T-shirt.
