UMass Boston

One of the most dominant sprinters in UMass Boston history, Hulerie McGuffie built a career defined by speed, consistency, and championship performances. She was a nine-time NCAA All-American across the 200m and 400m, cementing her place among the most decorated track athletes in Beacons history. 

In 2016, McGuffie made history by winning national championships in the 400 meters both indoors and outdoors, cementing her status as the fastest Division III 400m runner in the country that year. At the time, she ranked second all-time in NCAA Division III history in the 400 meters, behind UMass Boston alumna Genesia Eddins '92, and she now stands third on the list behind both Eddins and former UMass Boston standout and U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist Wadeline Jonathas.  

McGuffie was also a dominant force at the regional level, capturing multiple New England Division III titles—including two each in the 100 meters and 200 meters—and earning three ECAC Division III crowns in the 200 meters.
