About a month after Cameron Ostrowski made his last jump at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, he received something that would entirely change his college career.
A phone call.
On the other end was his coach.
Flash back to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2012, when Ostrowski made his debut on the national stage as a redshirt freshman.
He attempted to make it over the 7-foot mark yet another time. And he didn't disappoint, getting over the 7-foot-0.5-inch bar — a successful jump early in his career, but not as good in his eyes.
He had suffered an stress fracture in his jumping ankle at the NCAA West Preliminaries, an injury that would define almost the entirety of his college career.
