As a member of the Missouri Tigers track and field team from 1985–89, she won five individual conference titles, earned NCAA All-American honors in the 400m dash six times, and named Big 8 Female Athlete of the Year in 1989.[2] In 1989, she also was the 400m dash Indoor National Champion with a collegiate record time of 51.92 seconds, which still stands as the school record.[2]

At the 1991 Pan American Games she finished fourth in the 400 meter run and won a gold medal in 4 x 400 meter relay. She won a silver medal in the relay at the 1992 Summer Olympics with her teammates Gwen Torrence, Jearl Miles and Rochelle Stevens. In 1993 she won a relay silver medal at the 1993 World Indoor Championships as well as two medals at the 1993 World Championships. She won the 400 meter event at the 1994 Nationals and was a member of the 1996 USA Olympic team in Atlanta.[1]

Her personal best time is 50.17 seconds, achieved in 1993.
