Crystal Walker

Induction:
2024
Class:
2013

It's safe to say that success came in leaps and bounds for the Marshall Track and Field team with Walker as part of the program – especially in 2013 where she joined with fellow 2024 Marshall Hall of Fame inductee Vanessa Jules to give the Herd two of the nation's top track athletes on one team. Walker earned the distinction of First Team All-American in the Long Jump in 2013 after she posted a 6.41-meter jump, which was good for fifth in the NCAA Championships. Walker also was a Conference USA Champion and First Team All-Conference USA in the Triple Jump after posting a 12.71-meter jump in the conference meet. The Dallas, Texas native also was the school record holder as part of 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams that saw success in 2013. Walker came to Marshall in time for the 2011-12 Outdoor Track season and posted a win in the 100-meter at the Ohio Open.
