Hi! My name is Quanera Hayes, I'm a proud mother of a son and I am the 2021 USA Olympic Trials Champion in the Women's 400 meter! I'm from Dillon, SC and in 2015 I was an unknown, emerging from Livingstone College, a small North Carlina (USA) Division 2 HBCU (Historical Black College Or University). Since the start of my professional debut, I've surpassed expectations at every junction in my career. I won both the 2016 US Indoor and 2017 US Outdoor Championships. In 2017 I went on to compete in the Outdoor World Championships and won gold in the Women’s 4x400m, playing a critical role in Team USA’s victory. In 2018 I took time off to become a mother and in 2021 I reclaimed my title as US Outdoor Champions while qualifying for the 2021 Olympic Games. I'm excited to be representing Team USA at the Olympics!
