Vince Enserro
My family and I moved to Chico in 2011. I grew up in Southern California where I played Football and Track and Field in High School and College.
I competed as a decathlete, my strongest events were all throwing events, high jump and pole vault.
I started to coach track at PVHS in 2019 where I help coach the jumping events. My goal as a coach is to help each athlete find their potential bot as an athlete and a young adults.
My favorite thing is seeing a student’s smile when they have overcome an obstacle in their way. I want to help them build their self-confidence through positive interactions and challenging them to work through difficult hurdles in their way.
