In Dominique's words:

Volunteer Coach for the University of Florida (Gators) and daughter to Tony Darden, who made the 1984 Olympic Team which got boycotted and won Pan American Games in 1979.

Have the same birthday as my mother (Christina Reeves). Started clothing line called 'Gough Harde' with NFL Player Dante Hughes ( www.goughharde.com). Working on a website called www.myswagtag.com.

Very good friends with former teammate Lauryn Williams, Auntie of her Great Dane named Atheena and love my English Bulldog named Louis (pronounced Louie).

I’m a very optimistic and free-spirited person. Finalizing a written children's book and starting a novel. I have many creative ideas with the hope of pitching to producers or production companies to help promote track and field and other sporting events. A strong plan to go to Grad School to get my MBA. I've attended Level 1 Coaching Education to someday coach on a Division 1 level or coach high school athletes in my Post-Athletic career so that one day, they will have a chance to get a free education and excel in sports if decided.

MY NAME IS LOUIS (THAT'S ME & DOMINIQUE OVER THERE TO THE RIGHT!)

Thanks,

Dominique Darden, 400 Meter Hurdles
