With a sparkling showing of love and athletic pride, new LSU women’s basketball star MiLaysia Fulwiley, who recently transferred from South Carolina, showed up in the stands to back her girlfriend, Gamecocks track phenom JaMeesia Ford, as she torched records at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
MiLaysia Fulwiley in the Stands for Girlfriend JaMeesia Ford’s NCAA Track Championship Performance
On Thursday, June 12, South Carolina sprinter JaMeesia Ford delivered a performance for the ages at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. The sophomore sprinter blazed through the 100 meters in 10.87 seconds (wind +1.6), a personal best now the sixth-fastest collegiate 100m time ever.
She followed that up with a 21.98-second 200 meters, becoming only the fifth woman in NCAA history to dip under 22 seconds in the event. Ford’s times not only set new South Carolina program records but also stamped her as the top qualifier heading into both finals.

From the stands, Fulwiley captured Ford’s 100-meter dash on video and posted it to social media with the caption: “10.8, JaMeesia, that’s how you feeling,” her pride unmistakable. She also shared an Instagram story featuring a post of Ford’s record.
Fulwiley and Ford’s relationship has become one of college sports’ most celebrated partnerships. Since meeting at a joint basketball and track team event in 2023, the two have been nearly inseparable, supporting each other’s ambitions on and off the field.
Their public displays of affection—whether it’s Fulwiley dropping appreciation on Ford’s posts, or Ford hyping Fulwiley’s move to LSU—have inspired fans and set “couple goals” across social media.
Earlier this year, Ford marked their anniversary with a collage of unseen photos, while Fulwiley proudly reposted the tribute. When Fulwiley’s younger sister graduated, both she and Ford celebrated the milestone together online, showing their bond extends beyond athletics.

Whether seated at courtside or on the track, Fulwiley reminds us that the best performances are made even more powerful by the strength of those who cheer the loudest.
Now, as Ford sets her sights on NCAA gold and Olympic dreams, she knows that Fulwiley will always be in her corner — phone in hand, pride in her voice, and love on show for all to see.
