NORMAN – It had to be something special that would cause Natasha Harvey, University of Oklahoma track and field assistant coach, to miss the Sooners' trip to the Texas Relays. Her induction into the Jacksonville University Athletic Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2014 qualified as that something special.
Harvey joined the track and field staff at the OU as an assistant coach and assistant director of operations in July 2013. She works with the sprinters, hurdlers and relays and has been a key part of rebuilding the Sooner sprint program.
A five-time All-American (three outdoor and two indoor in the long jump), Harvey was part of 12 Atlantic Sun Championship teams during her time at Jacksonville University – eight during her career as a student-athlete and four more as a graduate assistant coach during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons. She made a total of seven NCAA indoor and outdoor championship appearances in the long jump, placing as high as second in the 2008 outdoor meet and fourth in the 2007 indoor meet.
Harvey is still the A-Sun Championship meet record holder in the long jump as a 22-time conference champion. She also earned all-conference honors 35 times. She was tagged as “Most Outstanding Performer” at the A-Sun Championships nine times and twice competed with Team USA (2006, 2008). In 2006, Harvey's first opportunity to represent Team USA in Beijing, China was earned by being crowned US Junior Champion in the long jump.
Harvey also excelled academically, earning the School of Education's “Outstanding Exercise Science Student” at her graduation. Additionally, she was named JU Women “Student of the Year.” She was named to the ESPN the Magazine/CoSIDA academic all-district second team and was Jacksonville's first A-Sun “Student-Athlete of the Year.” Harvey also received the Senior Student-Athlete Award and was named the A-Sun's nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year.
She received her bachelor's degree in exercise science in 2009, then went on to earn a master's degree in sport management and leadership from Jacksonville University in 2012.
