Kym Crosby (born February 14, 1993) is an American para-track and field athlete who competed at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in the T13 100 metres and 400 metres. She won the bronze medal in the 100 metres and set a personal best.
Crosby was born on February 14, 1993, in Marysville, California to parents Paul and Pauline Crosby.[1] She was born with albinism which left her legally blind.[2] Upon her brother's encouragement, Crosby competed in track and field during her high school years.[3]
After graduating from River Valley High School, Crosby enrolled in California State University, Chico and competed on their track team.[2] As a junior at Chico, Crosby qualified for the United States Paralympic team[4] and made their 2016 Summer Paralympics roster.[5] In her debut Games, Crosby competed in the T13 100 metres and 400 metres. Although she set a personal record during the 400 meters with a time of 57.26 seconds, Crosby finished fourth in the T13 finals.[6] She garnered greater success in the Women's 100 meters race and earned herself a bronze medal.[7]
Crosby became engaged to wheelchair racer Erik Hightower on May 8, 2017.[8]
