Career[edit]

Chandler started running at Central Middle School in Euclid, Ohio.[5] In 2017, she placed 5th at the AAU Junior Olympics in the 200 metres.[5] At Euclid High School, she was an OHSAA state champion in the 200 m, setting the state record in that event her senior year.[5] Chandler first represented the U.S. at the 2019 Pan American U20 Athletics Championships, where she won a gold medal in the 4 × 100 m relay.[2]

Running for the Cincinnati Bearcats track and field program, Chandler set various school records. She was injured her senior year of college, but she recovered to win her conference meet.[5] Chandler did not qualify for an NCAA championship final until 2023, after she had transferred to the USC Trojans track and field program for her final year of eligibility.[1] Chandler set the Loker Stadium facility record for 100 m with a 10.99-second clocking in 2023.[6] Her best NCAA championship finish was 4th, at the 2023 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships in the 200 m.[1]

Personal life[edit]

Chandler is from Cleveland, Ohio.[2] She originally studied at the University of Cincinnati and then transferred to the University of Southern California where she mastered in digital media.[7] In 2021, Chandler became the first USC athlete to sign a name, image, and likeness endorsement deal. The deal was from a local marketplace for student-athletes.[8] She was coached by Carmelita Jeter for her last year of collegiate competition.[4] In December 2023, Chandler became a coach for the UNLV Rebels track and field program.[4]
