About Brigetta
Barrett grew up in New York, where she first started high jumping her freshman year of high school. For her junior year, Barrett packed her bags and moved to Texas to live with family members and give herself the best possible environment for success. Barrett’s moved paid off as she became a two-time Texas state champion and earned a scholarship to Arizona. In only her sophomore year of college, Barrett exploded on the international high jump scene. After winning victories at NCAA Indoor and Outdoor as well as the USA Championships, Barrett traveled out of the country for the first time to win the World University Games and advance to finish 10th at the World Championships. Barrett is majoring in theatre arts with a minor in creative writing. She wrote and produced the first ever black history month play on the campus of Arizona.
