Sharon Day-Monroe (née Day; born June 9, 1985) is an American heptathlete, pentathlete and high jumper. She is the 2011, 2013, and 2014 national heptathlon champion.

Day-Monroe was also the 2012–2015 national indoor pentathlon champion, a two-time Olympian (part of Team USA in 2008 and 2012), held the U.S. national pentathlon scoring record from 2014 until 2023, and is the first athlete to win four consecutive national championships in the pentathlon.[2] She was signed with ASICS as a professional.

Early life

[edit]

Day originally excelled in the high jump. As a junior athlete, she was the 2003 Pan American Junior champion in the high jump, and in 2004, she won the bronze medal at the World Junior Championships, clearing 1.91 meters.[3][4]

While at Costa Mesa High School she was the CIF California State Meet champion two years in a row,[5][6] and was coached in the high jump by her father, Eugene Day.[citation needed] Day's mother, Yolanda Day, was also an elite high jumper,[citation needed] and her sister, Jasmin Day, competed in the high jump for the University of Arizona.[citation needed] During her junior year, she defeated senior Chaunte Howard.[citation needed]

Collegiate records and championships

[edit]

Day attended Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, where she won the 2005 NCAA Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championship while setting the then-school record in the high jump at the time, with a clearance of 6–4.[7]

She later improved upon her own school record for the high jump, clearing 6 feet, 4.75 inches in May 2008.[8] Day-Monroe also holds the school record in the heptathlon, which she attempted at the end of her college career, after also being a standout soccer player in the fall. As a forward in soccer for the Mustangs from 2003 to 2005 and 2007,[1] Day tallied 27 career goals and 14 assists in 79 appearances.[9]

Day suffered a plant foot fracture in 2005 that required two surgeries and a year of rehabilitation. All of the heptathlon events except the high jump were taught to Day by her coach, Jack Hoyt. Day had not competed in the long jump, hurdles, shot put, javelin, 200 meters, or 800 meters prior to spring 2007, but she trained for these events after her soccer season.[10]
