Oberlin College Athletics

One of the most dominant sprinters in Oberlin College track and field history, Teresa Collins was an eight-time letter winner with the Yeowomen and was a 22-time all North Coast Athletic Conference honoree. 

Throughout her four-year career, Collins was a seven-time NCAC champion on the oval. She burst onto the scene in her first-year, claiming conference crowns in the indoor 1,600-meter relay and the outdoor 400-meter relay. After posting a national provisional-qualifying time in the 400-meters as sophomore, she would cap off her illustrious career by winning four conference titles as a senior, which included individual championships in the 400- and 200-meter races outdoors as well as sweeping the 1,600-meter relay both indoors and outdoors.
 
In her final conference meet in 2005, Collins gave the Yeowomen all she could, accounting for 38 of the team's 77 total points en route to winning NCAC Sprints/Hurdles Runner of the Year accolades while helping the team finish in second place. 

Before graduating in 2005 with a degree in anthropology and a minor in art history, the two-year team captain set school records for five indoor events (800m relay, 1600m relay, 300m sprint, 400m dash, 500m dash) and two outdoor events (1600m relay, 400m dash).

Collins currently resides in Tampa, FL and works as an Early Literacy Specialist in the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System.
