Stephanie Colby joined the Johns Hopkins Track and Field program in the Fall of 2024. In just two seasons, she has guided two athletes to All-American status, alongside multiple athletes who have garnered All-Region and All-Conference recognition.

A former gymnast turned pentathlete, Colby picked up the pole vault during her junior year of college—just as the event was beginning to be contested at the NCAA level. She quickly rose to the top of the collegiate standings and inspired her to pursue the sport at the elite post-collegiate level. Competing globally, she achieved a personal best of 4.30 meters.

Today, Colby continues to prove that a passion for track and field has no age limit. As a highly successful Masters-age competitor, she broke and established multiple American records in both the pole vault and the decathlon.
