Hi, I’m Payton Phillips. I attended the University of Kentucky, where I earned All-Conference honors as a pole vaulter, including one SEC silver medal, two SEC bronze medals, and First Team All-American recognition at the NCAA level.

Over the past year, I’ve discovered a deep passion for coaching the sport that has given me so much. Through this club, my goal is to develop young pole vaulters not only as athletes, but as confident, disciplined individuals—fostering an intentional culture centered on growth, character, and purpose both on and off the runway.
