Sue Humphrey - Head Coach

Humphrey, 51, has achieved international success as a high jump coach as a member of the 1992 and 1996 Olympic staffs. She headed up Team USA's delegation at the 1985 IAAF World Cup and the 1987 Pan American Games. An accomplished author of coaching manuals and videos, Humphrey coached 1996 Olympic high jump gold medalist Charles Austin, and she has coached three of the seven American women to have cleared 6 feet, 6 inches or higher in the high jump - Coleen Sommer, Yolanda Henry and Angie Bradburn.

Humphrey was a women's assistant coach at the University of Texas from 1984-89, during which time she coached NCAA champions in the high jump, triple jump and long jump. She has worked as an assistant at Arizona State and as a volunteer at Cal State-Long Beach and with the University of Texas men's team. Currently she consults with post-collegiate jumpers and is assistant principal at Pearce Middle School in Austin, Texas.

"Obviously, this is a very big honor," Humphrey said of her nomination. "I've been blessed over the years to work with some fantastic athletes. I just want to carry on the tradition of the U.S. at the Olympic Games."
