HSI (track team)

Track and field training group

Summary

Track and field training group

Hudson Smith International (or simply HSI), is a track and field training group and team centered on former UCLA coach John Smith and sports agent and attorney Emanuel Hudson. The group was formed in 1996 after Smith, a former sprinter who competed at the 1972 Summer Olympics, had led Quincy Watts and Kevin Young to gold medals at the 1992 Olympics.

Past members of the group include Olympic medalists Maurice Greene, Ato Boldon, Allen Johnson, Tasha Danvers, Inger Miller, Jon Drummond and Dawn Harper. From its inception, the team dominated global sprinting events for a decade. Members of the team have combined to run relays under the HSI banner. Team members were known for their boasting and brashness.

As the world record holder in the 100 metres from 1999 to 2002, Greene was the most publicized of HSI's athletes. From 1997 to 2001, Greene dominated the field in that event at the World Athletics Championships and Olympics, his closest competitor frequently being Boldon. Johnson had a similar winning streak in the 110 metres hurdles between 1995 and 2003.
