DARREN’S BIO
Darren is one
of the country’s top up and coming pole vaulters. The 2009
indoor season has been very successful, starting out in his
first meet of the year with a win and a PR at the Annual Pole
Vault Summit in Reno. He then went on to a 4th place finish at
the Millrose Games, and 3rd place at the Boston Indoor Games.
It looks to be a great year for Darren.
Darren
started out pole vaulting for Conant High School, in a suburb of
Chicago, where he was an all-state athlete. After his high
school success, he started his collegiate career at the
University of Wyoming, but then transferred to the University of
Wisconsin, where he became a two-time Big Ten Conference
Champion. Upon graduation, Darren moved to Iowa to train at the
University of Northern Iowa for the 2008 Olympic Trials. Since
then, Darren has moved back to the Chicago area to train with
the coach who got him started, and looks to keep his recent 2009
success going and lead him to a berth on the 2012 US Olympic
Team.
