About Me
Riley Ammenhauser is a triple jumper for the University of Michigan’s Wolverines women’s track and field program, and she’s primed for takeoff. As a jumper, Riley competes in some of the sport’s most technical events, striking a balance of physics and strength to build momentum and propel herself into the air, sometimes reaching 5x her body’s height. Big 10 Titles, State championships, U-M school records, and personal-bests aside, Riley is still a college kid at the end of the day. In the new age of collegiate athletes on the internet, Riley uses her social media channels to create a personal connection with Gen Z audiences and show her lighter side — locker room dance routines with her teammates, ‘get unready with me’ videos, and #fitchecks with sneakers that won’t go anywhere near a track. No matter how many followers she gains, or how decorated in accolades Riley may be, she’s a jumper who stays grounded.
