Tynia Gaither is a sprinter from the Bahamas who specializes in the 100-meter and 200-meter races. Born in the Bahamas, Tynia grew up in Florida and enrolled at the University of Georgia, where she spent two years before transferring to the University of Southern California. As a Trojan, she qualified for the finals in three events at the NCAA Championships in 2014 and 2016, and she anchored the USC 4X100-meter relay team to second place finishes nationally in both seasons.
