Illini legends, lists and lore: Renee Carr-Foster
Former Fighting Illini track and field standout Renee Carr-Foster, whose name is sprinkled throughout the University of Illinois record book, celebrates a milestone birthday today.
A star sprinter at Science Park High School in Newark, N.J., coach Gary Winckler helped her become a five-time All-American and a 14-time Big Ten champion. Carr-Foster, Celena Mondie-Milner and Leticia Beverly helped Winckler’s 1989 Illini capture Big Ten indoor and outdoor team championships. Carr-Foster also starred for Illinois’ 1988 conference champs.
