BUTLER TWP — Evie Paserba did not expect to be on the Art Bernardi Stadium track Saturday during the Butler County Classic.
Not after she tore her patellar tendon and medial collateral ligament and dislocated her kneecap just eight months prior. The devastating injury, which came during an open-gym volleyball practice ahead of the fall season, required a tibial tubercle osteotomy to realign her patellar tendon and stabilize her knee.
The rehab required 9-12 months. Her senior season at Butler was in jeopardy, so best case was maybe she could return for one meet in May.
But there she was Saturday, making the pole vault podium with a clearance of 9 feet, 6 inches and finishing 11th in the javelin with a throw of 86 feet, 4 inches.

Paserba was cleared a few days into the start of the season and is “happy to be back.”
“I didn’t really think it would be happening,” she said.
Paserba shredded her left knee diving laterally for a dig on the volleyball court. She had partially dislocated that same kneecap twice before — the first time as a freshman during hurdles, the second time playing basketball — but she knew immediately the injury was different.
She was supposed to go to a track practice after volleyball.
Five days after surgery, nearly crying, she said, Paserba began twice-weekly rehab and later mixed in Crossfit training, which she has gotten into over the past year.
The first time she thought she might be able to compete in her final track season was when doctors told her she needed to have 90% strength in her left leg as her right leg. Four months post-surgery, they said she had reached the threshold and gave her the green light to start running.
“I was like, ‘I can run?’” Paserba said. “Two months before that I was barely walking, so it was cool to see how quickly I was able to get back.”
But she was still a little late to start the season and is not quite 100%.
Girls track and field coach John Williams noticed she wasn’t at the first few days of the outdoor preseason in March and got concerned. But when she showed up the second week of practice, he was glad to have her back.
“She was a pretty fearless athlete, pretty competitive, pretty aggressive,” Williams said.
Paserba knows she’s not likely to be a postseason contender in either of her events, although she’s still competitive and expressed some disappointment in her performance Saturday. She’s trying to learn to have more fun and enjoy herself. Maybe she can break her pole vault personal best of 10-7, or her javelin PR of 111-6.
She also has to balance her rehab with competing and the responsibilities of being a senior preparing for college.
Paserba’s experience — or “bad luck” with injuries, as she called it — also solidified a desire to go to college for biomedical engineering. She's been on several college visits and done a few interviews recently as she narrows down her choice. She wants to be a sports medicine physician.
“The injury helped me realize that, as well, there’s more past sports,” she said.
