Bio

Born in Jamaica, Walker arrived at Riverside City College in 1993 and quickly made a name for herself, winning the state titles in the 100-meter hurdles, 100 meters and 200 meters as the College won the 1994 state championship. She went on to earn a scholarship to LSU where she helped the Tigers to four Southeastern Conference championships (two indoor and two outdoor). She was a three-time Southeastern Conference champion and won three national championships, two in relay events and the 100 hurdles her senior year. She went on to represent her country in the 2000 Summer Olympics in the 200 meters. To this day, she still holds RCC’s record in the 200 meters and 100-meter hurdles.
