Colleen Uzoekwe is just….is just WOW. I mean, we all know that heptathletes/pentathletes are usually gonna be knockouts because of all the different events in which they have to excel, and how they require you to be strong and flexible and powerful throughout your whole body.
But Colleen is…another level.
Colleen is a versatile track and field athlete specializing in multi-events, particularly the pentathlon and heptathlon. She began her athletic career at Westview High School in Portland, Oregon, where she showcased her talents by winning three events at the 2019 OSAA 6A State Championships: the 100 meters, 200 meters, and long jump. WOW.
Additionally, she secured a second-place finish in the high jump during the same meet. Her outstanding high school performances earned her the title of 2019-20 Gatorade Oregon Girls Track and Field Athlete of the Year.
Uzoekwe joined the University of Oregon’s track and field team. During the 2022-23 indoor season, she became the sixth-best performer in the program’s history for the pentathlon, scoring 3,941 points at the Ken Shannon Invitational. In the outdoor season, she recorded a personal best of 5,349 points in the heptathlon at the Brutus Hamilton Multis, placing her tenth on Oregon’s all-time list. She also achieved a personal best of 13.87 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles at the Desert Heat Classic.
We can’t wait to keep watching her at Fresno State, where she now runs. Keep up the fine work Colleen!!
