English Gardner (born April 22, 1992) is an American track and field]] sprinter who specializes in the 100-meter dash. Her personal best of 10.79 seconds, set in 2015, ranks her in the top twenty all-time for the distance.[1]
She was born in Voorhees Township, New Jersey and attended Eastern Regional High School.[2] 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.[3]
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.[4] 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.[5]
