Peaches Roach-Findlay will be inducted into the Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday, September 1.
The Jamaican attended the University of Iowa for four years from 2004-2007 and enjoyed a collegiate career filled with numerous accolades.
She was a four-time All-American, 10-time regional qualifier, a five-time Big Ten Champion and the 2004 Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
Roach-Findlay also still holds the school’s indoor and outdoor high jump records as well as the seventh fastest 60m and 10th fastest 100m times in school history.
Competing internationally for Jamaica, Roach Findlay won a gold medal in the Heptathlon at the CAC Games in 2010 before returning a year later to cop the bronze medal.
Also in 2010, she narrowly missed out on a medal in the same event at the Commonwealth Games in new Delhi, finishing fourth.
She is also a three-time national champion in the high jump.
