The 5-foot-10 senior jumper and hurdler won the state championship in the 100-meter hurdles this past season with a time of 15.06 seconds. Olawuyi was also the state champion in the triple jump with a leap of 39 feet, 2 inches, leading the Scarlet Knights to a fifth-place finish as a team. At the Class C Championships, she swept the 100 hurdles, high jump, long jump and triple jump as Exeter-West Greenwich finished in third place.
Olawuyi has maintained a B average in the classroom. She has signed a written letter of athletic aid to compete at the University of Rhode Island this fall.
Olawuyi has volunteered locally at summer youth track and basketball camps in addition to donating her time at junior high track meets. She has also helped fundraise for the Rhode Island Interscholastic Injury Fund, which helps cover medical expenses for athletes injured during competition.
