Jumps Camp

Sofia Wittmann is the jumps coach at Metro State Denver. In her first year, the jump squad broke four school records, reached two NCAA provisional marks, earned three RMAC podium finishes, and contributed 46% of the men's team points at the Conference Championships. Jumpers at MSU have grown under Coach Wittman's leadership, seeing an improvement in individual indoor PRs by an average of +46.2cm (~1.5 feet) on the men's side and +32.6cm (~1 foot) for the women. Sophia was a jumper for the University of Connecticut, where she earned three Big East podium finishes in the women's pole vault and four team Conference championships. She earned an M.S. in Sports Management from UConn, holds Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and USATF Level 1 Coach certifications.

Sofia's coaching philosophy centers on technical development, mental healthcare, and resource availability. She strongly believes that athletes perform best in caring, supportive environments where even the smallest moments are celebrated. Beyond learning new technical skills, her athletes focus on targeted goal-setting, mental preparation for competition, and learning well-rounded life skills to perform well both on and off the track.
