| | | Location | | The Lady Vols Jumps Camp is held on the beautiful University of Tennessee campus Utilizing the world-class Tom Black Track. | | About the Camp Directors |  | Charlie Simpkins a former world record holder and two-time Olympian and silver medallist in 1992, he will lend his knowledge and savvy to UT's jumps camps. Simpkins' insights have been helpful in developing a blossoming jumps group, which has included American collegiate indoor record-holder Tianna Madison, who won the IAAF World Outdoor Championship, NCAA and SEC Indoor and Outdoor titles and an NCAA Mideast Region outdoor crown, all in 2005, before she turned pro after her sophomore season. During her second campaign in Knoxville, Madison became only the second American woman (Jackie Joyner Kersee is the other) to strike long jump gold at Worlds and the third (JJK and Marion Jones did so) to medal in that event. Amazingly, Madison also was the first active Lady Vol track & field athlete to reign victorious at Worlds. Among the plethora of awards Simpkins' tutelage helped Madison receive were Sports Illustrated On Campus magazine Women's Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Year, SEC Indoor Women's Field Event Athlete of the Year and USTCA Mideast Region Women's Outdoor Athlete of the Year. Madison was also a finalist for the Honda Sports Award for Track & Field. | | | | Welcome Campers!! | | Our objective is to make it a fun week.
