Lashinda Demus

I’m a mother of 3, 11-year old twin boys, Dontay and Duaine, and 6-month son Syre.  I’m an Olympic Silver Medalist and the current American Record holder in the 400-meter hurdles. As one of the most decorated hurdlers of all time, I’ve learned to apply the mentality my athletic career has fostered to my family life and career goals. In January 2019, I launched ElleDemus.com, a site dedicated to empowering upcoming athletes, especially young women and girls like me, who are balancing the many responsibilities, such as sports, academics, career, and achieving goals.
