CANADIAN VAULTING TEAM

Susan Barron

Colin Schmidt
Hannah Marland

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

  • Colin said, “Being at WEG in 1998, being at the Vaulting Championships in Germany in 2000 and scoring a 7.4 at WEG in 2002. This will be my third WEG, which, for a Vaulter, is good. We tend to have a short shelf life.”

TID BITS

  • “I started (Vaulting) when I was eleven years old. The whole family was involved; all four siblings and our Mom coached. Now I coach and my sister (Alisa Porter) also coaches. Chilliwack has the oldest Vaulting club in Canada.

  • “I did ten years in 4-H, showing in Western and English. I ride the Vaulting horses for exercise.

  • “I currently own one horse, am leasing a second and looking for a third. One of the horses, Trooper, won the HCBC (Horse Council of British Columbia) ‘Horse of the Year’ award.

  • “I Vault to relax.” Colin’s other interests include Paintball and cars, including drag racing.
