Before her Team USA triumphs, Tori was a standout track star in college at the University of Southern Mississippi … where she was a two-time NCAA long jump champion in both indoor and outdoor track.

The year after her three-medal performance at the Rio Olympics, Tori became the world’s fastest woman … winning the 100-meter dash at the 2017 IAAF World Championships in London with a blistering time of 10.85 seconds.
