Steve Shockley distinguished himself as a talented and dedicated sprinter, recording times in the 49-second range in the 400 meters, the 21-second range in the 200 meters, and under 11 seconds in the 100 meters. He competed on both the 4x100- and 4x400-meter relay teams and advanced to the national championships with the 4x400-meter relay during his sophomore year. The track star was a six-time ODAC Champion. His conference crowns consisted of the 1983 400-meter dash, the 1982 and 1983 440-yard/400-meter relay, and the mile/1,600-meter relay in 1982, 1983, and 1985. A multiple-time all-conference honoree, Shockley held at least one facility record and multiple school records when he graduated. His 1982 4x400-meter relay team’s time of 3:16.15 ranks as the eighth-best time in program history as of 2026.
