Julia McCormack '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Julia Cate McCormack, I was a gymnast for as long as I can remember until spring of my Freshman year.  My high school did not offer gymnastics and I wanted to be part of a school team so I decided to try track with my friends.  My name was on the roster for sprinters until the jumping coach saw me in the hallway with my gymnastics team sweatshirt on and she said “Hey Jules, are you a gymnast”. I said “Yes, Why?”.  Before I knew it I was trying Pole Vault and to my surprise immediately fell in love with it.  One day at a meet my coach needed another team member to triple jump and threw me in.  With a quick overview of how to do it, I did my skip, hop and jump and that was the day I got my first varsity score and knew I found my new sport. Next meet was the long jump and it went from there. So here I am now…a JUMPER.
