## Collegiate career[edit]

## Olympics[edit]

Blair LaBounty placed sixth in the women's heptathlon in the 1996 Olympic Games held in Atlanta, Georgia, and also qualified for the 2000 Summer Olympics, but missed the games due to injury.[2] She defeated Jackie Joyner-Kersee in the Olympic trials of 1996.[1] Blair LaBounty placed third in the 1998 Goodwill Games in the heptathlon.[3]
