## Early life

[edit]

Ariana Washington was born August 27, 1996, in Signal Hill, California.[1] Washington attended Long Beach Poly High School where she participated in track and field.[4] As a sophomore, her team the Long Beach Poly Jackrabbits won the Penn Relays.[4] Washington won state titles at 100 and 200 meters for her sophomore, junior, and senior years of high school.[4]

## Collegiate athlete

[edit]

In her first year at the University of Oregon, Washington won NCAA titles for 100 meters and 200 meters.[5] She was the first freshman to win both titles.[4]

## Olympian

[edit]

Washington raced in both the 100 and the 200 meter distances at the U.S. Olympic Trials for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, finishing six and fifth respectively. Although she did not qualify as an individual at either distance, she was selected for the United States relay pool in the 4 × 100 m relay.[4][5] The community of Long Beach, California, raised money to allow Washington's mother and brother to watch her compete in Rio de Janeiro.[6]

## Personal life

[edit]

Washington met fellow Olympian Clayton Murphy over a game of Uno at the USA Track and Field Athletes Lounge in the Olympic Village at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. They got engaged in 2018,[7] and were married in the Napa Valley on December 7, 2019.[8]
