Olympian Aliann Pompey worked hard to win; now encourages young runners to do the same

Four-time Olympian Aliann Pompey has trained on the Fort Washington Armory track for much of her running career.

“This is sort of home and has been to me for some time,” Pompey said as we sat in the stands overlooking the state-of-the-art facility in Washington Heights. “All through college this was the home arena for us. We had college competitions here, and big collegiate meets that everyone traveled from all over the world to take part in.”

But the 34-year-old Manhattan College graduate was not able to do much training at Fort Washington before she headed to London for the 2012 Olympics last month, where she represented her native Guyana in the 400-meter dash.

Familiarity, it seems, breeds interruptions.

As director of educational development for the Armory’s College Preparatory program, Pompey works in the massive building on Fort Washington Ave. between 168th and 169th Sts., where she and her staff each year help hundreds of high school track athletes prepare for and stay in college.

Aliann Pompey, the Shore Athletic Club member and past NCAA champion for Manhattan College, competing in her fourth Olympic Games for Guyana, claimed a spot in tonight’s women’s 400-meter semifinals. .

Pompey, meet–record holder at Holmdel’s New Jersey International Meet, ran her fastest lap of the year, 52.10, to advance into the 24-runner semis. With her performance, Pompey became the first runner of any nation to compete in four Olympic 400s.

“But this is definitely my last,” she said. “I can’t see myself running much further.

“It takes a toll on you. I’m happy with my 52.10 and think I can go faster in the semis, but this has been a tough year. I had some Achilles tendon surgery and missed a lot of time, so this was only my fourth or fifth race all year.”

[JR: Hats off! And a big round of applause to a woman who exemplifies what a Jasper should -- brave. Explanations; not excuses. She did her best. She's a champ in my book. We've recorded many of her off-track accomplishments here in Jasper Jottings as well. So, as the old Navy Chief taught me, we'll signal her a "Bravo Zulu", old Navy flag signal for "Well Done"! The fact that she didn't advice past the semis just means on that given day there were others who were faster. But, none better, imho.]

Sprinter Alainn Pompey has a busy schedule to say the least. Not only is the 400 meter specialist training for her fourth appearance at the Summer Olympics, she’s also heading up the Armory College Prep program at the New Balance Track and Field Center in Manhattan. The program serves more than 200 underprivileged students a year and helps them get into college. When Pompey isn’t running the track, she can be caught teaching, modeling, writing, coaching and consulting.
