Personal information
Born	May 26, 1976 (age 39) Columbia, South Carolina, U.S.

Monique Hennagan (born May 26, 1976 in Columbia, South Carolina) is an American athlete who mainly competes in the 400 metres. She won her first relay medal at the 1999 World Indoor Championships and her second in 2003.

At the Athens Olympics in 2004, Hennagan was part of the US team which finished first in the 4×400 meters relay. This result has been in doubt since 2010 after Crystal Cox, who ran for the team in a preliminary round, admitted to using doping.^[1] Cox's drug violation puts the entire teams gold medal in jeopardy, however as of 2012 the American team ( apart from Cox ) retain their gold medals.

In 2008, Hennagan had her relay medal from the 4 X 400 metre relay from 2000 Olympics stripped because of teammate Marion Jones admitting to performance enhancing drug use. On July 16, 2010, She and 6 other members of the US Women's Track and Field team won their appeal to the IOC to have their medals reinstated.^[2]
