Former Augustana College women’s pole vaulter, Taelar Hillyer, was named as a volunteer assistant for the Central track and field program.

Hillyer graduated in 2014 as a four-year member of the Vikings’ track team, qualifying on the national level five different times between both indoor and outdoor competition. She currently holds the school’s record for highest vault at 12 feet, 2.5 inches. The Dutch men and women will next compete in a couple of different meets this Friday and Saturday; some head to Brookings, South Dakota for the South Dakota State Indoor Classic, with another group going to Grinnell for the Darren Young Classic.
