Coach Iliyan Chamov’s goal is simple.
“I’m looking to recruit the best in the world.”
The Missouri horizontal and high jumps coach’s approach is bold, but his program’s talent matches his expectations. Last fall, Missouri sent two jumpers to the Pan American games. This spring, several jumpers dot the national and international rankings and will look to medal at the SECs, NCAAs, Paris and beyond. Yes, Paris, as in Missouri may send several Tigers to the Olympic trials. More on that later though, because Chamov’s perspective on the Olympics may refresh your own, as it did mine.
