Wilson's season-best time of 23.24, accomplished at the Sun Belt Conference Championships, was the 14th fastest time among the 20 final qualifiers in that event. She then finished fourth in her NCAA preliminary heat with a 23.2, then ran a 23.61 in the championship round, to cross the finish line as one of the top eight American finishers.

Farah Jean-Pierre
Division I • Indoor High Jump • 2001

One of the top high school high jumpers in the nation, FIU's Farah Jean-Pierre immediately made a name for herself in the Sun Belt Conference by winning the outdoor high jump, finishing second indoors and provisionally qualifying for the NCAA Championships as a freshman. Jean-Pierre put it all together the following year, qualifying for the NCAA Indoor Championships and finishing third by tying her personal best and school-record indoor height of 6-feet.

Kevin Bateman
Division I • Outdoor Javelin Throw • 2000

Kevin Bateman was an all-around athlete who first came to FIU on a men's soccer scholarship but later took up the javelin and became the class of the Sun Belt Conference in his only year of competition. Bateman qualified for the NCAA Championships with a school and SBC-record toss of 234-feet-8 at the Georgia Tech Last Chance Meet, then went on to NCAA competition where he finished seventh with a throw of 219-feet-4. After leaving FIU, Bateman competed at that year's Olympic Trials where he finished 13th, just missing the cut.

Rod Davis
Division I • Outdoor 400-meter Intermediate Hurdles • 1998

Rod Davis became the first FIU male track and field athlete to take All-America honors when he finished eighth outdoors in the men's 400m intermediate hurdles. The Golden Panthers co-captain that season, Davis established a new school record in that event, running a 50.86. His name still appears in the FIU record book running with the 4x400m relay teams (both indoors and outdoors) and outdoors with the sprint medley relay team.

Tayna Lawrence
Division I • Indoor 200 meters • Outdoor 100 meters and 200 meters • 1998
Indoor 55 meters and 200 meters • 1999

FIU's most decorated athlete on the world stage is former All-American Tayna Lawrence. Her top marks during the indoor and outdoor seasons of her junior year automatically qualified her for three NCAA events. She looked to have an even better senior year, winning indoor All-America recognition running the 55 meters and 200m, but a back injury later that spring forced her to withdraw from NCAA Outdoor competition. Lawrence's name still appears throughout the FIU record book.

Following her days at FIU, the five-time All-American, running for her homeland Jamaica in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, won a silver medal as part of the 4x100m-relay team and took an individual bronze in the 100-meter dash. Lawrence became the second Golden Panther track star to compete at the Olympic Games. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Ena Guevara-Mora competed for Chile in the first-ever women's marathon race.

Shonda Swift
Division I • Indoor Triple Jump •Outdoor Triple Jump • 1996
Indoor Triple Jump • Outdoor Long Jump • Outdoor Triple Jump • 1997

Multi-talented Shonda Swift earned All-America recognition in five different events and still holds numerous school records. After being hampered by injuries over her first two years at FIU, Swift came on as a junior with an eighth-place finish indoors and a ninth-place showing outdoors in the triple jump. The following year, Swift took fifth place indoors in the triple jump before reaching the finals and earning All-America status outdoors in both the long and triple jumps. Swift's top marks are still benchmarks at FIU as she remains the school record holder in numerous events.

Ena Guevara-Mora
Division II • Outdoor 3,000 meters, 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters • 1984

Ena Guevara-Mora was FIU's very first track and field All-American when she competed at the 1984 NCAA Division II National Championships in Cape Girardeau, Mo. The accomplished distance runner from Chile finished third in the women's 10,000 meters with a school-record time of 34:37.95, then put up a fifth-place showing in the 3,000m and was seventh in the 5,000m. Guevara-Mora still owns school records in all three of those distance events. She concluded her amateur career running in the inaugural women's marathon race at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics where she crossed the finish line in 35th place.
