Hall of Fame
A 1988 Olympian who represented the United States in Seoul, Korea, Jackie Humphrey-Corbin is one of the most decorated athletes ever to compete at Eastern. Humphrey ran the sixth-fastest time ever by an American in the 100 meter hurdles (12.83 seconds) and won the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in record-setting fashion during the 1988 season.
On August 29 of that year, the city of Richmond held a Jackie Humphrey Day to celebrate her accomplishments.
Driven by a passion to be the best, Humphrey was a six-time NCAA All-American. She competed in the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships each year of her collegiate career (1985-88). Her best finish was second place in the 1987 100-meter hurdles, a race she finished in 13.06 seconds. Humphrey personally set three indoor and one outdoor program records and was part of four indoor and four outdoor relays that established program marks.
Following her senior season, Humphrey earned Ohio Valley Conference Female Athlete of the Year.
