Previously a member of the Texas State track and field team from 2012-15, pole vaulter Anicka Newell is currently on tap to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The Track and field portion of the Olympics has yet to begin, and Newell has already stolen the show.
Last week, the Canadian found herself trending after she took to her Instagram and posted herself looking stunning in a black two-piece bikini by the pool.
Her first picture showed her posing and perfectly showcasing her abs and legs while rocking red slides and a red visor.
The second and final picture had Anicka Newell turning around so her fans could see her perfect backside as she put her right hand on her hip.
The pole vaulter also displayed her massive left arm tattoo that also reached to her back.
The Central Texas athlete is representing her country for a third time in hopes of capturing a gold medal.
Anicka Newell made the 2024 Canadian Olympic team after claiming second place at the Bell track and field trials with a 4.38-meter mark, per TXTS.com.
“The Texas State Track and Field program and Texas State Athletics as a whole are beyond proud of Anicka for qualifying for her third Olympic Games,” Texas State said in a statement to MySA. “We can’t wait to watch her compete and represent not only Canada but Texas State University as well. We wish her the best of luck in her competition and hope she can accomplish her lifelong goal of bringing home an Olympic Medal.”
She previously had a career in gymnastics before an injury at age 14 derailed everything. However, undeterred, she discovered a love for pole vaulting as a junior at Highland High School in Albuquerque that revived her Olympic dreams.
Anicka Newell Hoping To Finally Medal In Third Olympics
Texas State alumni and track & field member Anicka Newell will represent Canada in Paris, as she did in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and Tokyo in the COVID-delayed games of 2021.
The 2011 graduate of Albuquerque’s Highland High School has yet to capture any type of medal.
During the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, she did not make it to the final round. In 2020 in Tokyo, Newell qualified for the finals with a 4.55m mark, but she didn’t record a mark in the finals.
Despite that, she is a two-time pole Sun Belt Conference vault champion, reaching a school record of 4.28m in winning her second title.
She now has what might be her final time to get a medal for her country.
