Colwick won the pole vault title at the 2009 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. He followed this with a win at the 2009 NCAA Outdoor championships with a vault of 5.70m.[3]
Colwick was the first Rice pole vaulter to win a title since Dave Roberts in 1973, and the school's first NCAA Outdoor champion since Ryan Harlan's 2004 decathlon win.[4]
Colwick is the recipient of the 2008-2009 Conference USA Male Athlete of the Year award.[5]
Personal
Colwick was first interested in gymnastics at an early age, which he says is the ideal sport from which to transition into pole vaulting. He has stated that he looked to pole vaulting as something he would "enjoy more and be better at" than other sports he was participating in at the time.[6]
In addition to his accomplishments in athletics, Colwick earned a degree in economics from Rice University and as of 2016 he works at an engineering firm in the Houston, Texas area.
