Carmelita Jeter (November 24, 1979) is a retired sprinter, who competed in the 60 meters, 100 m, and 200 m. For over a decade (2009-2021) she was called the “Fastest woman alive” after running a 100 m personal best of 10.64 seconds at the 2009 Shanghai Golden Grand Prix. In the 100 m, she was the 2011 world champion and the 2012 silver medalist. She is a three-time Olympic medallist.

She won the 100 m bronze at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics and a gold at the World Athletics Final. She won a second World Championship bronze. Her personal best of 10.64 s makes her the fourth fastest woman ever in the 100 m, behind Florence Griffith Joyner’s 10.49 long-standing world record, Elaine Thompson-Herah’s 10.54 seconds, and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s 10.60 seconds.

On May 25, 2023, she was named the new head coach of the track & field and cross country programs at UNLV.

She attended Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, California. Initially, basketball was the preferred sport in her family, and her younger brother, Eugene, later joined the Sacramento Kings. Her basketball coach suggested that she try out track, and an 11.7-second run confirmed her natural talent for sprinting. She graduated from California State University, Dominguez Hills with a BS in Physical Education. She set the record for most NCAA medals by a CSUDH track athlete and became the university’s first US Olympic Trials qualifier. A recurring hamstring problem kept her out of competition for much of (2003–05) and it was not until 2007 that she made her first impact in senior track and field athletics, having undergone treatment with deep tissue massage. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #sigmagammarho

Diversity champion leads DEI push

Vice President Dr. Bobbie R. Porter, also the Campus Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer, leads efforts to foster an inclusive and equitable environment at CSUDH Carson, CA (News4usOnline) – In a time when diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts are under increasing political and public scrutiny, Dr. Bobbie Porter stands at the forefront of transformative leadership. As the Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH), Porter is driving systemic change with a clear message: equity is not optional. Her bold initiatives and unapologetic approach have positioned CSUDH as a beacon of progress in higher education, standing strong in the face of uncertainty while many other institutions scale back their DEI policies. Dr. Porter’s journey into DEI leadership blends personal conviction and professional experience. Before joining CSUDH, she served as the Chief Diversity Officer at CSU Fullerton and the Chief Equity Officer for the Tennessee Board of Regents. At CSUDH, she’s implemented initiatives across campus to integrate equity into curriculum, faculty recruitment, and student services. “We have a long history of this social justice orientation; it’s in our DNA. It’s a big part of who we are,” says Porter. “I’ve heard folks on our campus talk about our social justice roots, but when we are talking about our origin, it’s really a racial justice uprising. In fact, coming into this role a couple of years ago, I was the first person to be the campus-wide DEI officer. Since then, what I’ve been more focused on is developing the structures so these efforts are not just individual actions but a matter of daily practice. It’s in the way we navigate, the way we make decisions, and the way we provide support services. This focus ensures that it becomes a fundamental part of who we are. Moving forward, the goal is to shift from individual willingness to embedding these practices into the structures of the campus, which is the vision I have for this work. The question I constantly ask is: how do we build on our social justice orientation and align our practices and procedures with the passion that’s inherently there?” Porter has expanded CSUDH’s equity audit process, implemented inclusive hiring practices, and created training programs. In March 2025, she was named one of Diverse: Issues in Higher Education’s Top 40 Women in Higher Education for her transformative work. “Diversity officers are connectors. There's very little that we do that doesn’t require collaboration across units. So, when I’m thinking about how we are ensuring access for various benefits of the institution, we do this through those connections. We’re working with other units on campus to make adjustments to our existing practices and policies, with the aim of eliminating barriers to access,” she explains. Porter’s influence extends beyond CSUDH. She leads DEI workshops nationwide and advocates for open dialogue on race and identity. Despite the growing political backlash against DEI in some sectors, Dr. Porter remains unwavering. “The challenges are just responding to all the changes that are happening nationally. For example, policies on immigration—policies that one wouldn’t think impact higher education—do. Many of our employees are immigrants themselves or have life partners who are immigrants, and they’re directly impacted by what’s happening. Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been focused on responding to these changes. My response on one hand, it’s external, addressing the inquiries regarding long-held activities that are now deemed exclusionary. On the other hand, I spend significant time demonstrating care and support for others, as we continue to navigate these uncertain times,” Porter adds. As CSUDH continues to build upon its legacy as a Hispanic-Serving and Minority-Serving Institution, Dr. Porter’s leadership ensures that equity isn’t just a statement of values—but a living, evolving practice that touches every part of campus life. “As a result, there’s no need to change anything. Nothing needs to go away, and I hope that remains the case,” Porter concludes. Read the full article

Nova Southeastern: 2024-25 NCAA Division II Men's Basketball National Champions

EVANSVILLE, IN. - Redemption. One year after falling at the buzzer in the NCAA Division II National Championship game, the second-ranked Nova Southeastern Sharks Men's Basketball team has reached the top of the NCAA Division II men's basketball world, as the Sharks won the program's second national championship, defeating Cal. State Dominguez Hills 74-73 on Saturday evening in the Ford Center.

MJ Iraldi led NSU in the effort, scoring a team-high 27 points and earned tournament Most Outstanding Player honors.

Head Coach Jim Crutchfield has guided NSU to the program's second NCAA Division II National Championship, the 15th national title for the Nova Southeastern Athletics Department. The Sharks tied the program record for wins in a season (36), have the most wins in NCAA Men's Basketball, and closed the season on a 23-game winning streak.

First Half - Ryker Cisarik netted the first four points of the game for the Sharks, as NSU was able to take a quick lead over the Toros. A 9-0 run, which featured points from Dallas Graziani and MJ Iraldi, gave the Sharks a 13-5 lead less than five minutes into the game. Midway through the half, CSUDH was able to eliminate the NSU advantage, tying the game at 20-20. The Toros continued to hold on to an advantage for the remainder of the half, sending the Sharks into the break trailing 42-38.

Despite shooting just 16% from beyond the arc in the first half, the Sharks trailed the Toros by only four points. Tyler Eberhart led all NSU scorers in the opening 20 minutes, totaling 11 points while shooting 5-8 from the field.

Second Half - Eberhart knocked down a three-pointer, following a steal from Graziani, giving NSU some early momentum in the second half. The Sharks and Toros continued to match each other bucket for bucket, before Cisarik finished an and-one opportunity to tie the game 50-50 with 15:29 left in the game. The Sharks seized a bit of momentum, following the Cisarik and-one, rallying for a 10-2 run and taking a 60-52 lead. CSUDH All-American Jeremy Dent-Smith scored six consecutive points for the Toros, tying the game once again at 62-62. Both All-Americans - MJ Iraldi for NSU - in the title game matched each other down the stretch, but the Toros led 71-68 with less than two minutes remaining. Dent-Smith fouled out, sending Cisarik to the free throw line and the forward knocked down both to bring NSU within one. CSUDH missed a go-ahead three-pointer, as Ryan Davis came down with the defensive rebound, before Graziani hit a pair of clutch free throws to give NSU a 72-71 lead with less than 40 seconds left in the game. The Toros reclaimed the lead moments later, but after drawing a foul, Iraldi knocked down a pair of clutch free throws to give NSU a 74-73 lead.

With the opposing team possessing the ball in the final moments once again, the Sharks defense clamped down and forced a pair of missed opportunities; the final horn sounded and for the second time in three seasons, and second time in program history, head coach Jim Crutchfield's Nova Southeastern Sharks won the NCAA Division II national championship.

No. 2 Nova Southeastern has finished their season as NCAA Division II National Champions for the second time in program history. NSU Athletics thanks you for your support throughout the season.

MJ Iraldi: 27 points, 8-16 FG, 10-12 FT, nine rebounds Tyler Eberhart: 14 points, 6-11 FG, six rebounds Dallas Graziani: 13 points, nine assists Ryker Cisarik: nine points

I AM GOING TO LOSE IT

I AM ACTUALLY GOING TO LOSE IT

WHY IS EVERYTHING THAT CSUDH DOES SO *TERRIBLE*

[myblacksneakers]

To know where you’re heading in life you, never forget where you come from.

I started this blog back in high school, “My black Sneakers” I had notebooks and then transition myself to digital blogging on google had a blogspot. I tried to continued but life just got harder after high school.

My real adventure of “my black sneakers” started when I first got hired by an employment agency, I was 14 years old. I worked along side my mother, during the summer break. I wore multiple hats, was a picker, sorting out fruits and vegetables. I worked in the manufacture clothing industry, sorting out clothing that I will never wear, they seemed ugly for my taste but they were overpriced for my budget at the time. Also, worked at many other places that you can’t imagine, the most fun was working inside a freezer sorting out fish. You can’t imagine the smell afterwards, people in the bus thought we were homeless women whom didn’t showered. But, the best part was the pay, a job that no one wanted to do.

The whole summer, i spend my time working, overtime hours, and i liked it so much that, i decided to leave high school. My mom was happy that I decided to leave school to help her with the bills. She never discouraged me to stop.

I believed that education wasn’t for me at the time, and that I didn’t need it, so I left 9th grade, to work at the warehouse industry. In my 10th grade year, I had to go back to school because, a letter was send home, that my mom was going to go to jail if I didn’t return to school, so, she then said you have to go back. I did. I wasn’t really doing great, I couldn’t find myself sitting in a classroom while the teacher was on her phone texting someone, i felt it was a waste of my time.

I was approached by a counselor whom said, I wasn’t going to be able to finish High School because, I was out for almost a year. I decided to take his advice, and place myself on a continuation school where, I was going to be able to catch up. I didn’t tell my mother, she found out after, I took myself out of school. Back in my day, the schools weren’t that strict or had the time to verify for accurate information. Today, you can’t even take out your own kid from school with out asking for an ID.

I join a new school Cesar Chavez, I really didn’t want to go there but, I needed a high school diploma to go get a job, it was a new requirement. In my time at that school, I met a really nice Women, her name is/was Boadi, she was a Business Computer Science instructor at CSUDH.

At my new school, 3% of the student didn’t have children the rest had 1 or more. I started to see their struggles, and I heard their stories of how they ended up there. I took, Ms Boadi class because I was curious about Computers. Our project was to create a website for CSUDH. Many joined but only a about 5 girls remained in the class.

To our surprise in the end we all got a scholarship, and a book from Book from Maya Angelo that particular book which I still have in my possession today. Ms Boadi said she saw something in me she didn’t see in the other girls, besides the other girls where complaining about the scholarship, they thought it was going to be more. I was happy to get $1,000. I spend my money getting myself contact lenses, and few clothes, and I gave the rest my mom money.

Ms Boadi asked in what I spend my money, and I told her the above. I managed to Graduate in the Summer of 2002, and it was great because, I managed to get into El Camino College by the fall of 2002. During the Summer, I got another job, at CSUDH with computer programming, and a Scholarship with all expenses paid to New Mexico, and other Scholarships like a Computer etc, so, when I started College I’ll be ready. She was a really good friend, and mentor. I do miss her and always remember her.

I didn’t major in Computer Science but I went into Business Administration. I graduated in June 2009.
