Cary Chandler

Induction:
2016

All-American sprinter Cary Chandler left his name all over the Ball State record books in a career that ran from 1987-90. As a junior, the Chicago native set school records in the 100 and 200 meters outdoors and the 55 and 200 meters indoors. As a senior, he broke them all again. The winter of Chandler's final year was highlighted by an eighth-place finish in the 55 meters at the NCAA Indoor Track Championships to earn All-America honors. The All-MAC performer capped his career that spring by winning three events at the MAC Outdoor Championships, setting school records in the 100 (10.29) and 200 (20.60) and as a member of the 400-meter relay team (39.90). The relay time also set a MAC record. Chandler previously finished runner-up in each of those events a year earlier, a junior season during which he qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 200 meters.
