Nobody was better at making it once around the track than Heather Furrow.

All seven of Furrow’s individual All-American efforts came at the 400-meter distance. Her school-record total of 10 All-American honors also includes three 4x100 relays.

On the national scene, the former Yorkwood High School star peaked with a third-place finish in the outdoor 400-meter dash in 1996. She followed with fourth- and eighth-place outdoor finishes her junior and senior seasons and placed fourth at that distance twice indoors.

Her other All-American performances came in the 400-meter hurdles, where she placed seventh and fourth in 1997 and 1998.

At the conference level, Furrow won 24 titles, including 14 individually and six at the 1996 indoor meet alone.

Ten years after her graduation, Furrow’s best time for once around the track is a school- and conference-record 56.33 and she also still holds MC marks in the indoor 400-meter dash (57.22) and the 400-meter hurdles (1:01.54).
