INDIANAPOLIS — Hundreds of Hoosier athletes across several sports are competing for a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team, including one standout track star running in the track & field trials hoping to represent Indianapolis and Team USA.“She’s one of the most hard-working young ladies I’ve had the pleasure to coach,” said Mac Tolbert, who's coached Chanler for the last six years.
Chanler got a later start to the sport, switching from gymnastics to track in the 8th grade, but still excelled. Chanler ran away with three state titles at North Central High School including in the 100 meter hurdles and 4x400 meter relay.“She achieved great accolades at Ohio State, she was an All-American, she’s been to nationals indoor and outdoor so we’re very proud of her,” said her mom, Coya Robinson.
Now her parents and former coaches stand proud as she prepares to compete in the Olympic Track & Field trials in Oregon.
