Biography

April Holmes is a remarkable sports trailblazer who has defied the constraints of disability through determination and an unyielding work ethic. In 2001, a tragic train accident cost her left leg below the knee, but it ignited a fierce passion for the Paralympic Games and three audacious goals: donning the USA uniform, breaking world records, and capturing gold medals. Since her debut in Paralympic track & field in 2002, April has soared to unparalleled heights. Representing the USA with pride, she graced every major championship between 2002 and 2016. Her achievements are nothing short of awe-inspiring, boasting an astounding 14 IPC World Records and 18 American Records in the 100, 200, 400 meters, and long jump. Additionally, she earned three Paralympic medals—1 Gold and 2 Bronze—and claimed five World Championship medals. Beyond the track, April's influence extends far and wide.
