Team USA Hopeful - Sophie Gutermuth

About Me:

My name is Sophie Gutermuth and I am raising support to continue my pole vault career as a post-collegiate athlete. At Indiana University, I was an All-American, Big Ten Medalist, and School Record Holder (former). 

After missing the mark for the 2016 Olympic Trials by a slim margin, I recommited myself to my Olympic dream. I relocated to Knoxville, TN. at the end of 2016, where I lived for just under a under a year, and there I got the opportunity to train with Coach Tim Mack, 2004 U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist in the Pole Vault, and his team. Currently I live in Bloomington, Indiana, where I am training with the guidance of Dave Volz, a 1992 pole vault olympian. 

My Goals:

My short-term goal is to qualify for the 2018 USA National Championships this summer and my long-term goal is to qualify for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

How You Can Help:

1) You can donate to this fund
to support the costs associated with training. These include equipment costs (poles), competition entry fees, and travel costs. 

Poles: $300-$500 per pole (Different pole sizes are crucial to being successful when competing in different conditions and under certain circumstances.) 
Travel: Varies (gas, flights, hotels)

2) You can also share on social media! 

If you do not feel comfortable donating here, please send me an email: [email redacted]
