INDIANAPOLIS – The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee has announced the USOPC Hall of Fame Class of 2025, which includes track and field inductees Allyson Felix, Marla Runyan, Susan Hagel, and Phil Knight. The 2025 class will be inducted in a special ceremony to be held on July 12 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
“We’re honored to see four of track and field’s finest inducted into the USOPC Hall of Fame this year,” said USATF CEO Max Siegel. “Not only have they left a significant mark on our sport, their contributions to the Olympic and Paralympic movement have paved the way for generations of greatness to come.”
Olympics and World Championships legend Allyson Felix won 31 medals in global championship meets, the most by any athlete, earning 11 Olympic medals including seven golds. Felix, the 2012 women's 200 meters champion at the London Olympic Games, also garnered 4x400 relay golds in four straight Games from 2008-2021, and helped the U.S. to 4x100 gold in 2012 and 2016. Her 14 World Championships titles included three straight golds in the 200 from 2005-09, 400 gold in 2015, and 10 relay wins from 2005-22. In addition to her global exploits, Felix won 11 U.S. titles in her lengthy elite career.
Paralympian Marla Runyan is the only athlete to have competed in the Olympic Games and Paralympics, finding success in the sprints, middle, and long distances, along with combined events. She was eighth in the Olympic 1500 at Sydney in 2000 after winning Pan American Games gold in 1999 and being a finalist at the 1999 World Athletics Championships. Runyan was a Paralympian in 1992, taking gold in the 100, 200, 400, and long jump, and she won the pentathlon at the 1996 Paralympics in Atlanta. Her T-13 world record in the women's 400 lasted 29 years before it was broken in 2024.
A trailblazing athlete in adaptive sports, Susan Hagel competed in six Paralympic Games across three decades from 1976-96. Hagel was best known as a wheelchair basketball star, and also competed in archery and track and field. She represented the U.S. at the 1980 Paralympic Games in the Netherlands in the 60, 200, and 400.
Nike founder Phil Knight has played a major role in transforming the world of sport—particularly track and field. Not only is Knight’s legacy in sport one of the most iconic athletic brands in history, but the way he’s championed athletes in their pursuit of excellence through his entire career. Knight spearheaded the construction of Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon, helping win the bid for the 2022 World Athletics Championships, the first ever hosted on U.S. soil. Nike is a proud partner of several National Governing Bodies including USA Track & Field, and they outfit Team USA on some of the world’s largest stages, including the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Continued innovation in performance apparel and global marketing campaigns that spotlight athletes’ achievements has helped Team USA athletes to push boundaries and inspire audiences worldwide.
