Millersville

The fastest woman in the PSAC from 2014-2016, Kiara Allen won three PSAC titles in the outdoor 100-meter dash and reached national acclaim on the indoor track. During her four-year career with the Marauders, Allen totaled 10 All-PSAC finishes, placing in the top three in eight individual events and two relays. Allen was a national qualifier in the indoor 60-meter dash and the outdoor 100-meter dash and became the only sprinter in Millersville history to earn indoor All-America honors. In 2013, 2014 and 2016, she helped set new school records in the 4x100-meter relay.
 
Allen broke through on the PSAC scene as a sophomore in 2014, finishing as the runner-up in the 60-meter dash at the PSAC Indoor Championships and followed that performance by running an 11.79 in the 100 during the outdoor season—the second-fastest time in program history. Allen also ran a career-best 24.96 in the 200-meter dash that season, a time that still ranks third. At the PSAC Outdoor Championships, Allen won the first of her three 100-meter dash titles and contributed to a runner-up finish in the 4x100-meter dash.
 
Allen was just getting started. During the 2015 indoor season, Allen again finished as the PSAC runner-up in the 60, and her season-best time earned her a spot at the NCAA Championships where she ran a school record time of 7.53 in the prelims and then posted a 7.58 in the finals for eighth place. That made her just the fourth indoor All-American in program history. The success carried into the outdoor season as she repeated as the PSAC champ in the 100 and placed third in the 200. Allen also qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships that season in the 100.
 
As a senior in 2016, Allen tracked down the PSAC indoor championship that had eluded her the two seasons prior. She ran a 7.66 in the 60 and became the first Marauder to win an indoor PSAC title in a sprinting event. She won her third-straight 100 title, took third in the 200 and placed second in the 4x100-meter relay at the 2016 PSAC Outdoor Championships. Allen completed her career as a five-time USTFCCCA All-Region honoree.
 
Allen graduated with a degree in speech communication in 2016 and has established a career as a public relations and marketing professional while also building a significant following as a lifestyle influencer on social media. She also has a 2 1/2-year-old son, Carter who may continue the legacy on the track or field someday.
