Thelma Davies (born 8 May 2000) is a Liberian-American sprinter.[1]

Early life

Born to Emmanuel and Eliza Davies, Davies faced challenges early in life due to war. Both of her parents fled the First Liberian Civil War and lived in a refugee camp in Ghana, where they met. They became friends and later fell in love. Davies was born in that refugee camp.[2]

Davies attended Girard College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[3] She won four consecutive 100m and 200m doubles at the PIAA Championships between 2015 and 2019.[4] She attended Louisiana State University from 2019, although the beginning of her track college career was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

Career

Running for Louisiana State University, Davies ran personal best times in both the 100m and 200m at the 2024 SEC Championships in Gainesville, Florida, recording 11.01 seconds for the 100m and 22.17 seconds for the 200m.[6]

She competed for Liberia at the 2024 African Championships in Athletics in Douala, Cameroon and was a member of the 4x100m relay team that went on to win a bronze medal.[7] She competed in the 100 metres at the 2024 Paris Olympics.[8][9]

Personal life

She qualifies to run for Liberia through her parents.[10]
