Destiny Masters enters her first year as an assistant coach with the Grizzlies in 2025-26.

An El Dorado native, Masters is joining the Grizzly coaching staff fresh off a standout career as a track and field student-athlete at Wichita State that included All-American performances and her name littered across the WSU record book.

Masters was a six-time All-American at WSU, including placing 10th in the nation in the heptathlon at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon. She became the first WSU student-athlete in history to earn All-America status in back-to-back NCAA heptathlons. The six All-American honors rank second all-time in Shocker history, male or female.

She holds the WSU record in the indoor high jump as well as the pentathlon while earning six bids to NCAA Outdoor West Preliminaries as well as 11 All-American Athletic Conference honors and four individual conference championships. She was the AAC MVP during the 2024 Indoor Championships and was also named the 2024 Wichita Sports Commission College Female Athlete of the Year.

Masters also impressed in the classroom while at WSU being named Academic All-Conference four times and being named to the AD Honor Roll eight times.

Prior to WSU, Masters was a standout at Bluestem High School in Leon, Kansas. She qualified for the KSHSAA 2A state track and field championships twice, with podium finishes in the high jump, long jump, 100m hurdles and 100m. Her senior year saw her win the state championship in the long jump (17-1.75). Masters holds the Bluestem school records in the high jump (5'6") and long jump (17'9").
