Caleb Cowling is currently a private coach for elite jumpers and sprinters based in Colorado Springs, CO. He represented the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he was the Big 10 runner-up in the long jump in 2015. He also represented Hastings College, finding a new lifetime best three years after an Achilles rupture to become NAIA Long Jump national runner-up. From there, he also earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
During his time as a student-athlete, he coached Jazzelena (his now wife) to the 2016 USA Olympic Trials and 2017 USA indoor championships in the triple jump (13.35m). Last year was his first year coaching Coby Hilton, and the athlete improved his college personal record from 6.75s to 6.62s in the 60m and placed seventh at the USA indoors. Hilton then improved his 100m best from 10.37 to 10.14 and was a qualifier for the USA outdoor championships. In addition to coaching Hilton, Caleb now coaches long jumper Hannah Meek in her first post-collegiate season, bringing with her a personal best of 6.37m.
