Career
Early life and college
Born to Kevin and Susan Hutson in
In her final two years at Indiana State she extended her regional undefeated streak and took two consecutive victories at both the
NCAA Outdoor Championships. She graduated in 2011 as the school record holder at 4.51 m (14 ft 9+1⁄2 in) outdoors and 4.50 m (14 ft 9 in) indoors. She also set the Missouri Valley Conference record at 4.48 m (14 ft 8+1⁄4 in).[1][2]
World Championships
Turning professional in 2011, she came fifth at the
Adidas Grand Prix in New York.[2] At the 2011 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships she broke Jenn Suhr's four-year winning streak and lifted the national title with a vault of 4.65 m (15 ft 3 in).[3] As a result, she was given her first national selection, though she competed in qualifying only at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics while Suhr took fourth.[4]
Hutson did not maintain her level of performance in the 2012, having a season's best of 4.52 m (14 ft 9+3⁄4 in) for fourth at the USA Indoors before ending up seventh at the
2012 United States Olympic Trials.[2] She rebounded in 2013 with a new best of 4.75 m (15 ft 7 in) at the 2013 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships. However, this was overshadowed by Suhr's world record of 5.02 m (16 ft 5+1⁄2 in).[5] That June she set an outdoor best of 4.70 m (15 ft 5 in) and was runner-up to Suhr at the 2013 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Returning to international competition, she failed to record a valid mark at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics.[6]
Hutson competed frequently on the professional circuit in 2014, but her performances declined a little, as she was third nationally indoors and sixth outdoors. After missing much of the 2015 season, she returned in 2016 and showed returned form with a vault of 4.66 m (15 ft 3+1⁄4 in) in May.[2]
