Coach Meyer Bio
Raised in a family of Coaches
Born and raised in Michigan by 2 coaches. Howard and Nancy Roberson coached Cross-Country, Track, and Basketball for over 40 years.
U of L
At the University of Louisville, I was their first Female Pole Vaulter. Here I competed in Conference USA jumping my highest height of 12'1" and winning the indoor and outdoor championships.
High School
I started running summer track club in elementary school. When I was not running my 2 brothers and I was active in 4H showing rabbits and pigs. In High School ran Cross-Country, Indoor Track, Basketball, and Outdoor Track. Started Pole Vaulting as a senior. During High school my best times were 19:29 - 5K, 2:28 - 800m, 5:28 - 1600, 11:28 - 3200, and 10' - Pole Vault
Community College
After a successful senior year of Pole Vaulting and Running, I decided to follow my heart and go run. I attended a local community college to run cross-country and track. After training on the concrete roads after my years of training on trails and fields I stress fractured my shins. I did not want to sit out a year so I took an offer to Pole Vault at the University of Louisville.
First Coaching
After college, I got married and began teaching and coaching. I Coached at South Oldham Middle school and then Bellarmine University.
Wilder
I stopped Coaching at Bellarmine as we began to have our 4 children. I began coaching again in 2018 at Wilder Elementary. I now coach and Teach at Wilder Elementary.
Westport / Kammerer
Last year was the first Year I coached at Kammerer and Westport. Our kids attend Kammerer and we have many wilder kids that go on to Westport. Picking up the middle school teams has been so fun. Truly we coach these teams as a family. My husband and I spend endless hours discussing and stratigising on what our runners need. Kammereres 6th grade girls won JCPS city championship last year and placed 4th in the State for 6th and under girls. Has this affected Wilders team? Yes! Our Wilder 4th and under boys placed 3rd in the state last year. I believe having a group of older kids to push and train with has only made Wilders team stronger. Having so many experienced runners has brough the level of Wilders team to a more competive team and not just a social team. This is positive and negitive depending on the family and your interest in the sport.
