Oregon

She began a psychology major at the University of Oregon but missed most of the 2012 and 2013 collegiate track seasons due to an injury.[1]

Todd quickly established herself among the nation's top collegiate athletes in 2014. At the 2014 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships she was sixth in the long jump and third in the 60-meter dash with a best of 7.16 seconds. This time ranked her in the top fifteen athletes globally for the year.[2] She won the 100 m dash at the Mt. SAC Relays with a personal record of 11.25 seconds and won the 4×100-meter relay with an Oregon team of Marybeth Sant, Phyllis Francis and Jenna Prandini. She placed fourth in the long jump at the Pac-12 Conference championships. She improved her long jump best to 6.50 m (21 ft 3 3⁄4 in) that year, placing her in the global top thirty for the season.[3]

Todd was again third in the 60 m dash at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships, but managed only eleventh in the long jump. She also won the regional Mountain Pacific Sports Federation title in the 60 m dash. At that year's Pac-12 championships she won the 100 m and triple jump – in a best of 13.10 m (42 ft 11 1⁄2 in) – as well as coming runner-up in the long jump. She was eliminated in the semi-finals of the 100 m at the 2015 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships, but placed well in the long jump, taking fourth. The Oregon Ducks team was disqualified in the relay final.[3] She hit new heights at the 2015 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, established herself as one of the country's best track and field performers. She came a surprise third in the 100 m in a new best of 10.92 seconds. Another best followed in the long jump, where she took fourth through a mark of 6.84 m (22 ft 5 1⁄4 in). These placings brought her selection for both events at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics.[4][5]

Todd graduated in May 2016 from Oregon and finished her career in a Duck uniform after the team won outdoor track and field Pac-12 Conference title.[6] Todd placed twelfth in long jump in 6.04 m (19 ft 9 3⁄4 in) and twentieth in 100 meters in 11.30 at 2016 United States Olympic Trials (track and field).[7]
