About Allyson
Felix made history at the 2009 IAAF World Outdoor Championships by becoming the first woman ever to win three world 200-meter titles. Even one-step better, in 2007, Felix became the second woman in history to win three gold medals at one World Championships (200m, 4x100m and 4x400m). In 2005, Felix went undefeated in the 200m, winning the world title and recorded the three fastest times in the world. As an 18-year-old, she won her first Olympic medal in the women’s 200m at the 20054 Olympic Games in Athens and secured the world junior record at 22.18. Felix actually ran faster at a meet in Mexico City in 2003 (22.11), but meet organizers had not arranged for drug testing at the meet and the time wasn't ratified by the IAAF. Her winning time at the 2004 Olympic Trials 200m (22.28) was faster than every winning time at the Olympic Games through 1976. Her father, Paul, is an ordained minister who teaches New Testament Greek at the Master’s Seminary in Sun Valley, Calif. Her mother, Marlean, is an elementary school teacher. High school teammates called her “chicken legs” due to her long, spindly legs. She didn’t start running track until her freshman year of high school. USA Today reported that she had leg-pressed 700 pounds on a machine and dead-lifted 245 pounds. Felix was a prep media sensation, having had front-page articles in Sports Illustrated and USA Today, among other publications.
