MEAC

David Oliver won four consecutive MEAC outdoor track & field titles in the 110m hurdles from 2001-04 and was the 2003 MEAC indoor champion in the 55m hurdles. He continued in Howard's rich tradition of achieving multiple Division I track & field All-American honor status. Oliver received his first All-American honor with a fourth-place finish at the 2003 NCAA Men’s Outdoor Track & Field Championships, running a personal record of 13.60 seconds. The following year, he received a second All-American honor, finishing fifth at the NCAA Men’s Indoor Track & Field Championships with a University record in 7.69 seconds in the 60m hurdles. Also, he registered an outdoor record with a time of 13.55 seconds in the 110m hurdles at the Georgia Tech Invitational. In addition to track & field, Oliver was a member of the Howard football team (2004).

After leaving Howard, Oliver became a four-time United States Track & Field (USATF) Outdoor champion in the 110m hurdles (2008, 2010, 2011, 2015). He was selected the 2010 Jesse Owens Athlete of the Year and won a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in the 110m hurdles. He captured gold in four meets (2008 IAAF World Athletics Final, 2010 Diamond League, 2013 Diamond League and 2013 World Championships). Oliver partners each year with youth track and field organizations to sponsor track and field events for youth in both Orlando, Fla. and Washington, D.C., and he currently serves as Director of Track & Field at his alma mater.
