Lerone Clarke, Lincoln (Mo.): NCAA DII Athlete Hall of Fame, Class of 2025

Lerone Clarke scored points by the bushel for Lincoln (Mo.) during his legendary career: 56½, to be exact . That’s what happens when you’re an 11-time All-American by the time you graduate. Twenty of those points proved most beneficial for his Hall of Fame résumé: the NCAA 100-meter crown that he won in 2004, as well as the 60-meter version he added in 2005. Clarke dominated that 60-meter final, winning by 0.10 seconds in 6.71. Also notable is that Clarke was the first Blue Tiger to capture an NCAA sprint title. Lincoln (Mo.) has since cleaned up in those events with nine NCAA titles between the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships. Post-collegiately, Clarke represented Jamaica three times at the World Championships and won gold as part of the 4×100 relay in 2009.
