During his time at Allegheny, Jeremy Scott blossomed into arguably the top pole vaulter among all three NCAA divisions, and has since gone on to world prominence. He was a six-time North Coast Athletic Conference champion, earning three indoor and three outdoor titles, while he was a four-time All-American and two-time NCAA Division-III National Champion.
In 2000, he captured his first NCAC outdoor championship, going on to earn his first All-America nod with a second-place finish at the NCAA Division-III Championships. After earning his first NCAC indoor title in 2001, Scott repeated as the NCAC champion and NCAA runner-up in the outdoor championships. He enjoyed a storybook 2002 campaign, again sweeping the NCAC indoor and outdoor titles, while going on to be crowned the Division III National Champion in both.
He continued his record-breaking career as a senior in 2003, setting the NCAA all-division indoor record, while again capturing the NCAC indoor title. That spring, he joined truly historic company, as he qualified for the world indoor championships, becoming the first Division-III athlete since the legendary Edwin Moses to do so while still a student.
He graduated in 2003, and used his final semester of collegiate eligibility at the University of Arkansas, helping the Razorbacks capture the 2004 SEC championship. Scott then embarked on a long professional career, becoming a household name in the world track and field circles. The top-ranked indoor vaulter in both 2010 and ‘11, he achieved the ultimate goal of competing in the Olympic Games in 2012.
