Former UA NCAA champion Ross training in Tucsonย 

Another former UA NCAA high jump champion,ย Nick Ross, remains in Tucson, training with Blockburger. Ross was probably the top all-around athlete on campus in 2013 and 2014, but it doesnโ€™t translate financially the way it does for basketball and football players. Ross is working at Desert Diamond Casino, hoping to land a larger endorsement contract after this summerโ€™s U.S. finals.ย
