Bianca Knight, oly

Bianca Knight didn’t even know what the lanes were for when she went to her first track practice at the age of 12, but she beat everyone anyway. Before long, she was dominating the Mississippi – and national – high school scene, where she began competing as a seventh grader. By the time she graduated from Ridgeland High School in 2007, she had won 15 individual state titles at 100m, 200m and 400m among her 23 overall including relays.
