The 2016 Basnight Award Winner, two-year team captain and multi-time conference champion, Sydney Griffin set no fewer than eight school records during her career at Elon.
 
During the indoor season, Griffin set school records for indoor track & field in the 60, 200, 300 and 60 hurdles. Her time of 8.48 in the 60 hurdles remains the top mark today, while she is fourth in the 60, second in the 200 and second in the 300.
 
In outdoor track & field, she broke records in the 100, 200, 100 hurdles and 400 relay. She is still the 100 hurdles record holder with a time of 13.53 seconds and ranks third in the 100, fifth in the 200 and second in the 400 relay. She was a three-time NCAA regional qualifier in the 100 hurdles.
 
As a freshman in 2013, Griffin earned all-conference and all-freshman recognition during both the indoor and outdoor season within the Southern Conference. She won the conference championship in the 60 hurdles during the indoor season.
 
In 2014, she was again named all-conference by the SoCon for both the indoor and outdoor seasons before Elon left for the CAA. She once again won a Southern Conference championship in the 60 hurdles and added an outdoor title in the 100 hurdles.
 
In 2015, she was named All-CAA in both the 100 hurdles and the 400 relay before a breakout 2016 that included three league titles. She won the CAA Championship in the 100 hurdles, 200 and 400 relay and was named the Most Outstanding Performer of the Meet. She led Elon to CAA team championships in both 2015 and 2016.
