Jasmine Jones

Background

From her earliest days, it’s been clear that Jasmine Jones has had what it takes to be the best in the world. A 12-time individual Georgia state high school champion, Jasmine was a dominant force at Greater Atlanta Christian School, winning titles in the 100m hurdles, long jump and 200m. In 2019, Jasmine won the USATF U20 national title in the 100m hurdles, before going on to capture gold in the hurdles at the Pan-Am U20 Championships in Costa Rica.

Moving across the country, Jasmine enrolled at track and field powerhouse USC where she quickly made an impact on the Trojans’ track team. As a freshman, Jasmine was a semifinalist in the 100m hurdles at the NCAA Championships and was the lead-off leg on USC’s NCAA Championship 4x100m relay team.

Jasmine’s sophomore year showed her improve by leaps and bounds. She won the PAC-12 100m hurdles title and finished second at the NCAA Championships. While her junior year was hampered by injury, her senior year proved to be a storybook season: Jasmine won the 60m hurdles at the NCAA Indoor Championships and finished second at the USATF Indoor Championships. Outdoors, Jasmine took PAC-12 Conference titles in both the 100m hurdles and 400m hurdles. Doubling at the NCAA Championships, Jasmine finished fourth in the 100m hurdles and came away with the national title for the Trojans in the 400m hurdles.

Just weeks after her NCAA triumph, Jasmine finished third in the 400m hurdles at the US Olympic Trials in a massive lifetime best of 52.77 to secure her spot on Team USA for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. In Paris, Jasmine qualified for the final, where she finished fourth in another huge lifetime best of 52.29, making her the fifth-fastest woman of all time.
