COACH HELMER: "Sarah has found her way to the winner's podium three years in a row at the Illinois State meet and that is the quality I hope she continues to develop here at IU. Additionally she is known as a team player, willing to help her team score wherever she can. She is an outstanding high jumper who appears to be bringing other equally important qualities to our team as well."
