Maggie Vessey can easily be rated the most stylish athlete. The 32-year-old’s eye-popping outfits surely makes heads turn.

Since representing the United States in the 2009 World Athletics Championships the middle distance athlete from Soquel, California, is the most popular woman on the track.

When her official apparel partners turned away from her in 2012, this wane fashion designer decided to make her own outfits.

Immediately she created quite an impression.

A two-time participant at the World Championships, she believes, “When you look good, you feel good.”

We’d love to see more her, and those outfits, in the coming track-and-field events.
