Rosalyn Bryant won five individual AIAW Outdoor Championship titles – the 200 meters in 1974 while competing for Chicago State (1974) before three years (1976-78) at Cal State Los Angeles in winning the 100 and 200 in 1976 and the 400 in 1977 and 1978. She scored 64 total points in individual events at the AIAW as a collegian. Her 400 best of 50.62 while finishing fifth at the 1976 Olympics lasted as an American record until 1984, and her in-season collegiate best of 50.93 from the 1978 AIAW remained the collegiate record until 1987 (and is still the best by an athlete from an NCAA Division II program). She also earned an Olympic silver medal, anchoring the U.S. 4×400 team with a 49.7 split as the squad ran 3:22.81 that lasted as the AR until 1984.
