On Monday March 28, Monta Vista was honored with a visit from Erica McLain, 2008 Olympian, a three-time USA champion, and a two-time NCAA champion in the triple jump (check out her bio). Erica took the afternoon off from Facebook, where she is currently in charge of Messenger, to give a clinic and some tips to Monta Vista’s extraordinary group of young triple jumpers.
Erica was very impressed, not only by MVTF’s accomplishments, but also by their ability to listen, learn and improve quickly. Erica told me that when she started jumping, her jumps were very similar to Jessica, Cynthia and Reema’s PRs…so truly, who knows how far we might go?
It was a great afternoon for everyone!
Thank you, Erica!
