TYRA GITTENS
TEXAS Track and Field
Last year Gittens, competing for Texas A&M,
was an All-American in six events and a
finalist for the 2021 Bowerman as the
top women’s college track athlete. After
jumping for Trinidad and Tobago at the
Tokyo Olympics, she transferred to Texas
last fall and became an indoor high jump
All-American. This spring, she’s on the short
list of favorites for the ’22 Bowerman.
