Breaking Records, Saving Lives: The Rise of Melissa Jefferson

Former Coastal Carolina sprinter Melissa Jefferson first put herself on the map in 2021 when she broke the school record in the 100 meters. After that performance I shed light on her journey which included a life-altering decision while in high school. Since then, she's become an NCAA, US and World Champion, eventually turning pro.

It's background stories like this about Melissa Jefferson's struggles and her help saving her dad's life , gives us a different perspective on the athlete, the sacrifices she has made and her determination to achieve her goals.

This woman is right out of the story books...like a Wilma Rudolf and Evelyn Ashford...I am pulling for her above all the others

She gets noticeably better every year. Only Richardson beat her in the final. She will lead off for the 4x1 as well.
