Women's Track & Field (1997-2001)
Conference USA All-Decade Team member Kerine Black sprinted and jumped her way to incredible success as a Bull from 1997-2001. The three-time C-USA Athlete of the Year and five-time All-American won nine different C-USA events and set the league’s record in the triple jump.
Black competed in the triple jump, long jump and the 4x100 relay, earning an unprecedented five All-America honors in the three events and posting 12 NCAA qualifying marks while being named the USF Athlete of the Year in 1999-2000. Black was named to the C-USA All-Decade team in 2004-05.
Black walked onto the track and field team in 1997 and was at the NCAA Championships by 1999. She still holds seven individual school records along with being a part of USF’s record-setting 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams. Black was part of the 4x100 relay team that finished eighth in the NCAA Championships in 2000.
Black owns individual outdoor program records in the 100 meters (11.45, 2000), 200 meters (23.45, 2000), long jump (21-4, 2000) and triple jump (44-3.5). Her USF indoor records include top marks in the 60 meters (7.27, 2000), long jump (21-10, 2000) and triple jump (44-0.75, 2000).
