Can 25,984 track spikes tell the story of a running dynasty? We hope so.
To celebrate the HBCU Tennessee State University’s female track team, the Tigerbelles, Nike partnered with ncrmuseum for a larger-than-life art installation, depicting a famous photograph of track athletes Debbie Jones, Chandra Cheeseborough and Ernestine Davis crossing a finish line in 1978.
That year, the Tigerbelles set the World Record in the 880-yard indoor relay, the first-ever set by a Nike-sponsored team, collegiate or professional. Their story needs to be known, far and wide, because the Tigerbelles would change running—and athlete activism—forever.
