Eddie Loyd
- Induction:
- 2016
- Class:
- 1984
Eddie Loyd has carved his name into the Hall of Fame via one of the signature events in Blue Raider track and field history – the triple jump. He came to MT from a stint in the U.S. Army, to finish his college career.
Loyd did not win the Ohio Valley Conference championship only once, but did so a remarkable four times in his Blue Raider career. That’s dominance!
And, he excelled both indoors and outdoors, winning the conference championship in both venues in 1982 and 1983.
The native of Chicago excelled on the national stage as well, earning the coveted All-American status in 1982. He followed that up with an impressive 7th-place finish in the 1983 U.S. Track & Field Championships.
Loyd’s top jump of 55’ 1-3/4” still stands today as a Blue Raider record.
