Jordyn Hankins

The Track Star Doubling Down

Jordyn Hankins was built for speed. A former collegiate track athlete who competed in short sprints and the heptathlon, she spent her early athletic career in the explosive, technical world of track and field. Seven events across two days demand the kind of all-around athleticism that doesn’t come by accident.

For the last three years, she’s applied that foundation to CrossFit, competing in a sport that shares track’s demand for power and precision but adds the grinding element of sustained effort. Now joining the Grid as Carolina Flight’s strength specialist wearing #64, Hankins carries two completely different athletic traditions into one. The heptathlon taught her how to be effective across disciplines. Three years in CrossFit taught her how to compete when tired. The Grid combines both.

Her entry into the league comes with a clear mindset: learn the sport, contribute to the team, and develop as a competitor. That’s not a hesitant approach. That’s the focus of someone who knows what growth looks like across multiple athletic domains.
