Competed for MSU Hall of Fame Coach Margaret Simmons
Becomes the ninth from women’s track & field to be inducted and is the first since Pat Ward-Seib in 2019.
Set the MSU indoor triple jump record of 12.53m (41 feet, 1.5inches) in 1988 as a sophomore. The closest to topping her was Natasha Brown in 1991, who was a half inch away. Since that time, Jabreuna Brimlett got close to Woodside with a leap of more than 39 feet in 2019.
In 1990, Woodside set the long jump record for indoors with a leap of 6.16m (20 feet, 2.5 inches) and it still stands in 2020 and is still the record in the OVC.
Held the 100m hurdles record for outdoors (13.81) from 1989 to 2013 when it was bested by Sharda Bettis. Woodside’s mark is still third today in MSU history and would’ve been fourth last spring in the OVC.
In outdoors, she set the triple-jump record in 1988 of 12.24m (40 feet, 2 inches). Her mark is still third in 2022 and would’ve been second at the OVC championship.
Her long jump in 1989 of 6.20m (20 feet, 4.25 inches) is fourth today at MSU.
In 1988, she set the MSU javelin mark of 41.02m (134feet, 7 inches), a mark that is still fifth all-time at MSU in 2022.
