Jumper Nyla Guevara will join the squad from Coral Springs, Fla.
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University track & field program inked another signee for the 2021-22 school year, announced Director/Head Coach Sue Parks today, May 25, in jumper Nyla Guevara (Coral Springs, Fla.-Fort Lauderdale).
"We're excited to add Nyla to our jumps group," said Associate Head Coach Sterling Roberts. "She had a great year this year, and has so much potential for future growth."
EMU has seen many Eagles succeed across the jumping events in recent years. Since 2014, members of the Green and White have captured the Mid-American Conference crown four times in both the high jump and long jump, and once in the triple jump. In 2015, former Eagle Donald Scott recorded a second-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, March 14, and took third at the national outdoor meet, June 12, to wrap up his redshirt senior campaign. Following his time in Ypsilanti, Mich., Scott went on to win five USA Track & Field triple jump titles.
Currently, Tori Franklin, a two-time USA Track & Field triple jump champion, serves as a volunteer coach at Eastern. A 2015 graduate of Michigan State University, Franklin holds the program's highest marks in both the indoor and outdoor triple jump. Furthermore, former Eagle Jamie Nieto represented Team USA at the 2004 and 2012 Olympic Games where he placed fourth and sixth in the high jump, respectively.
