Prep

Born to Larry and Kim Todd in San Diego, California and raised in Chandler, Arizona, Jasmine Todd grew up in a sporting family, as both her parents had been track athletes at college. She too took up track and field and while at Chandler High School she won titles in the long jump, triple jump and 100-meter dash.

Oregon

She began a psychology major at the University of Oregon but missed most of the 2012 and 2013 collegiate track seasons due to an injury.

Todd quickly established herself among the nation's top collegiate athletes in 2014. At the 2014 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships she was sixth in the long jump and third in the 60-meter dash with a best of 7.16 seconds. This time ranked her in the top fifteen athletes globally for the year. She won the 100 m dash at the Mt. SAC Relays with a personal record of 11.25 seconds and won the 4×100-meter relay with an Oregon team of Marybeth Sant, Phyllis Francis and Jenna Prandini. She placed fourth in the long jump at the Pac-12 Conference championships. She improved her long jump best to 6.50 m (21 ft 3​³⁄₄ in) that year, placing her in the global top thirty for the season.

Todd was again third in the 60 m dash at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships, but managed only eleventh in the long jump. She also won the regional Mountain Pacific Sports Federation title in the 60 m dash. At that year's Pac-12 championships she won the 100 m and triple jump – in a best of 13.10 m (42 ft 11​¹⁄₂ in) – as well as coming runner-up in the long jump. She was eliminated in the semi-finals of the 100 m at the 2015 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships, but placed well in the long jump, taking fourth. The Oregon Ducks team was disqualified in the relay final. She hit new heights at the 2015 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, established herself as one of the country's best track and field performers. She came a surprise third in the 100 m in a new best of 10.92 seconds. Another best followed in the long jump, where she took fourth through a mark of 6.84 m (22 ft 5​¹⁄₄ in). These placings brought her selection for both events at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics.

Todd graduated in May 2016 from Oregon and finished her career in a Duck uniform after the team won outdoor track and field Pac 12 Conference title.
