Lashonda Davis

Considered one of Kokomo High School’s outstanding track and field athletes, Lashonda Davis continued her career at Miami of Ohio and graduated as one of its all-time greats, capturing six Mid-American Conference championships.

Davis won MAC titles in each of the four years she competed, 2004-07. Twice she claimed first place finishes in the indoor 60-meter dash (:7.37) and (:7.48) and twice she took long jump championships (19-9 ¾ indoor) and (21-0 outdoor). She also won the outdoor 100 meter dash (:11.85) and was a member of Miami’s victorious outdoor 4×100 relay (:45.99).

Seven years after completing her eligibility, Davis still owns three records at Miami, the indoor 60 meter dash, and indoor and outdoor long jump. While at Miami, she dominated the long jump to the degree that she still owns the top 10 performances in school history in both indoor and outdoor competition.

Davis was twice named MAC first-team all-conference and was also a two-time NCAA championship qualifier. She was a MAC All-Academic selection and honored as the university’s Female Athlete of the Year in 2005.

Davis was a three-time MVP of Kokomo’s track team. As a senior, she won the 100, 200 and long jump at the North Central Conference Championships and she captured the same events at IHSAA sectional and regional events, in addition to running a leg on the 400 relay which took first in both meets. At state, she finished sixth in long jump and seventh in the 100.

Davis resides in Kokomo and is employed by PNC Bank as a teller supervisor. She is the mother of two children, a daughter Ja’Nyiah Rogers and a son, JeShaun Rogers.
