Lissa Olson enters her second year at Cal aiding in the development of the Bears’ vertical jumpers and multi-eventers under assistant coach Dan Lefever in 2025-26.
In the 2025 season, the men’s outdoor pole vault (13th) and men’s outdoor high jump (20th) groups finished the year with national top-25 rankings, while pole vaulter Tyler Burns was ranked seventh indoors and heptathlete Seth Johnson 13th; both athletes also earned Second-Team All-America honors in the indoor season. Burns broke Cal’s indoor school record and finished third at the ACC Indoor Championships, then tied for second at the ACC Outdoor Championships. In total, Cal’s vertical jumpers and multi-eventers set seven indoor (six men’s, one women’s) and two outdoor (one men’s, one women’s) program top-10 marks and collected six total All-ACC honors.
