Kya Crooke
Student-Athlete | Storyteller | Leader
Rising Higher. On the Track and Beyond.
Kya Crooke is a Division I high jumper at the University of Arizona, I’m driven by discipline, faith, and the pursuit of something greater — both on and off the track.
Through athletics, storytelling, and meaningful connections, I’m building a platform to inspire others to believe bigger, live with purpose, and discover their own potential.
More Than Performance
I started competing at a young age with a dream of seeing just how far and how high I could go.
Today, I’m living that dream as an Arizona Wildcat, Division I high jumper, and student of both journalism and life.
From Soca Speed Track Club at age 9 in Fishers to earning a bronze medal as a freshman at the 2026 NCAA Outdoor Championships with a personal best of 1.90m (6'2.75"), track and field has taken me places I once only imagined.
But the greatest lessons haven’t come from the heights I’ve cleared. They’ve come from the challenges along the way.
Track has taught me discipline, resilience, leadership, faith, and the power of showing up consistently, even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.
