Indiana State University Athletics

A four-time NCAA Track & Field All-America, Christy Barrett excelled in the shot put as a student-athlete at Indiana State from 1988-91.  She earned no fewer than three Gateway Conference outdoor crowns, winning the shot put competition in 1989, 1990 and 1991 and was a two-time NCAA Outdoor All-America in the shot put (1990 and 1991). 

Equally skilled when competing indoors, Barrett was a three-time NCAA runner-up (1990 and 1991), earning All-America honors both seasons, as well as also being the Gateway Conference Indoor Champion in 1990 and 1991.  She set the Indiana State indoor record in the shot put with a distance of 55-5 1/2, as well as the outdoor mark in that event with a distance of 56-10 3/4, both records which still stand.
