English Gardner (born April 22, 1992) is an American track and field sprinter who specializes in the 100-meter dash. Her personal best of 10.74 seconds, set in 2016, ranks her in the top ten all-time for the distance.[1]

Career

She was born in Philadelphia and grew up in Voorhees Township, New Jersey, where she graduated from Eastern Regional High School as part of the class of 2010.[2][3] While running for the University of Oregon, in 2011 she set what should be the American junior record in the 100 metres at 11.03 (+0.6) set while winning the Pac-10 Championships. Her mark is superior to the listed record by Angela Williams from 1999, but that mark has not yet been ratified. She was a five-time NCAA champion with the Oregon Ducks track and field team, winning two 100 m titles, two 4×400 m titles, and an indoor 60 m dash title.[4]

Gardner qualified for the 2013 World Championships in Athletics in Moscow after winning the 100 m at the 2013 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Her time of 10.85 equalled the best time run in 2013 to that date by Barbara Pierre set earlier that same day in a semi-final. In Moscow, Gardner just missed the podium with a fourth-place finish in the 100 metres with a time of 10.97.[5] She was a silver medalist with the United States in the 4×100-meter relay.

Gardner qualified for the 2015 World Championships in Athletics in Beijing after a runner up 100 m at the 2015 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.[6]

Gardner won the 100 meters at the 2016 United States Olympic Trials in a time of 10.74 (+1.0). In addition to qualifying her for the 2016 Summer Olympics, the time tied Merlene Ottey as the seventh fastest competitor in history. Gardner finished 7th running 10.94 (Wind: +0.5 m/s) at Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's 100 metres and won gold in 41.01 Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's 4 × 100 metres relay.

Gardner placed sixth in the 100 m at 2017 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Gardner qualified for the 2019 World Athletics Championships – Women's 100 metres#Semi-finals in Doha, Qatar, on 28 to 29 September 2019 after placing second in the 100 m at 2019 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
