Gabriel Mvumvure, a former NCAA champion and Olympian, served the Brown track & field program as an assistant coach for sprints and hurdles for three seasons from April 2019 to August 2022.
In his final season on College Hill, Mvumvure coached a pair of All-Ivy League honorees including Bretram Rogers in the indoor 60-meter hurdles, and Sydney Scott in the outdoor 100 meters.
A three-time All-American at Louisiana State University, Mvumvure came to College Hill after serving as a volunteer assistant coach at LSU, where he was involved in various aspects of the program. He assisted the coaching staff with training and instruction for sprints, hurdles and relays, and also supported with recruiting, video and operations.
Mvumvure boasted an extensive professional career across multiple events, highlighted by an appearance at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where he represented his native country of Zimbabwe in the 100 meters. He was a five-time World Championship participant in both indoors and outdoors, including a three-time semifinalist, and held the Zimbabwe national indoor record for the 60 meters. His personal-best time of 9.98 in the 100 meters is the seventh fastest by an African in history.
A standout sprinter at LSU, Mvumvure made a name for himself as one of the stars on the program’s 4x100 relay team, where he earned three career All-America honors as a member of the sprint relay. He ran the third leg of the relay as a freshman in 2008 and helped the Tigers capture the NCAA championship in the event at the national final. He also earned one SEC title and two All-SEC honors as part of the relay. Mvumvure set four personal bests as a senior and finished his collegiate career among the top 10 performers in program history in both the 60 meters and 200 meters.
Mvumvure was a three-time member of the LSU academic honor roll and graduated in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in international studies.
