Price-Smith is a four-time Olympian, and is one of the most decorated women's track and field athletes in SIU history,[REF] despite the fact she did not participate in the sport during her college career until she was a senior.
Even though she did not medal at the Olympics, Price-Smith had the highest finish of a U.S. female shot putter since 1960 [REF] and narrowly missed the bronze medal by just four inches at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.
