Chanel Parker is the most decorated student-athlete to ever wear a Toros uniform with six All-America awards, and is a fixture in the rich history of Cal State Dominguez Hills track and field. Graduating from Cal State Dominguez hills in 2012, Parker ran the third leg as the Toros won the 2011 NCAA Championship in the 4x400 meter relay, besting five-time defending champion and perennial power Lincoln while setting the school record by nearly two seconds.

Among her accolades acquired, Parker finished on the podium 10 times at the CCAA Championships, and raced her way to Female Co-Athlete of the Meet in 2011 with relay victories in the 4x100 and 4x400 meter relays along with an individual event win in the 100 meter hurdles and a runner-up finish in the 200 meter dash.

Competing nationally both indoor and outdoor, Parker gained All-American status in 2009 in both the 60 and 100 meter hurdles, and she was a repeat All-America selection in the 100 meter hurdles in 2011 and the 60 meter hurdles in 2012. Parker also raced to All-American acclaim in the 4x400 meter relay in both 2010 and 2011, capped by the national championship performance.

Parker was twice named Cal State Dominguez Hills Female Athlete of the Year (2009, '11), and still boasts four school records her name dots the Toros top 10 performance lists 22 times. Also a standout in the classroom, Parker graduated from Cal State Dominguez Hills with honors and was a member of the university Honor Roll.

Along with involvement in the community in an array of service initiatives, Parker also serves in volunteer coaching roles for Cal State Dominguez Hills and Narbonne HS, mentoring competitors at both her high school and college alma maters.
