Carlette Guidry, Texas: Collegiate Athlete Hall of Fame, Class of 2022

Carlette Guidry was once called “a team by herself.” While at times she seemed to be everywhere, she was most prominent in the sprints. That’s where gained the appropriate nickname of “Ms. Turbo.”

No other man or woman has won more combined indoor or outdoor NCAA Division I individual sprint titles than Guidry’s seven. She also reigns supreme indoors among women in any event at the Division I level with six career individual titles.

Her accomplishments include early success in the long jump, in which she was NCAA Indoor champion as a Texas freshman. Her jumping prowess was just part of being referred to as “a team by herself” – she was also known to run any relay available – including the 4×400 – and contributed to four NCAA-winning Longhorn teams. Her total of 12 NCAA titles including relays is the most by any woman in Division I history.

Since 2015 the Texas Relays has named its university/college women’s 4×100 relay in her honor.
