Princeton now has three Olympians on the coaching staff, with Samara and Robby Andrews.
Gardner won a gold medal as a member of United Stats 4x100 relay team at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Individually, she was seventh in the 100 meters. A two-time USA Champion, Gardner has competed in two World Championships. In 2013 she was fourth in the 100 and was the silver medalist with the US 4x100 meter relay.

A 2013 graduate of the University of Oregon, Gardner is a five-time NCAA champion winning two 100 meter titles, two 4x400 meter titles and an indoor 60 meter title. She turned pro after her junior year at Oregon.
