Testimonial
I was privileged to be coached by Coach Mike Caton during my 4 years of high school. Particularly in the 100m hurdles, Coach Caton helped me to hone my technique while keeping the main thing the main thing—speed! This carried over into every other event. By the time I graduated, I achieved 6 Colorado State Championship titles in 3 different events (3x—Long Jump, 2x—100m Hurdles, and once in the 4x100m Relay), as well as several other podium finishes.. Through his constant encouragement and his commitment to studying the sport, he helped me to grow mentally and physically as an athlete, overcoming numerous fears and mental blocks, in order to reach the next level of performance.
Without his encouragement I probably would not have tried the heptathlon. The heptathlon became the event for which I was recruited to Tulane University where I competed all four years and hold the Indoor Pentathlon school record. I am so thankful to have had Coach Caton as my coach, and the foundation he gave me to become a competitive track and field athlete.
