She exited with many track & field honors, capped by second-place finishes in the long and triple jumps (both with CMS and SCIAC record marks) at the NCAA Championships as a senior. A three-time NCAA All-America, Odogwu also won five SCIAC individual titles. As a senior she was voted the SCIAC Athlete of the Year and Claremont McKenna College Female Athlete of the Year. Upon graduation, she held CMS records in the 100 hurdles (15.21), long jump (19-3.5) and triple jump (38-8).
