Falcons aren’t known to soar inside – but don’t tell that to Marquita Davis. The former Saint Augustine’s standout etched her name into NCAA DII history on the indoor circuit, winning back-to-back national titles in the 60-meter hurdles and finishing runner-up the year before her first. Davis (now known as Marquita Carter) didn’t need much time to leave her mark on the record book. She set an NCAA DII Indoor Championships record of 8.44 in 2006 and then equaled the standard the following year. Davis ended her legendary career as a two-time NCAA champion, eight-time All-American and seven-time conference champion. She won CIAA 100-meter-hurdling titles each of her four years and snagged three 60-meter crowns.
