No man dominated the short sprints more than Chaz Clemons between 2000 and 2003.
Clemons, who competed for Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, won six NCAA individual titles and helped the Lions to three more in relay events. He became the only man in NCAA DIII history to win four consecutive 100-meter crowns from 2000 to 2003, won back-to-back 55-meter titles in 2001 and 2002, and carried LU to three consecutive relay titles in the 4×100 relay.
The former Lion standout, who earned 13 All-America honors, left his mark on the NCAA DIII record book as well. He still holds the second fastest wind-legal mark in the 100 in NCAA DIII history at 10.19, which also doubles as the current championships record. The 4×100 relay teams Clemons was a part of own the third fastest and fifth fastest marks in that event.
Clemons is now the fourth athlete from Lincoln University to be inducted into the NCAA DIII Track & Field Athlete Hall of Fame, joining Brandon Jones (2010), Rhondale Jones (2012) and Clive Terrelonge (2005).
