ORLANDO, Fla. – MSU Moorhead assistant track & field coach Trevor Barry was officially enshrined into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Hall of Fame on Wednesday afternoon.
 
Barry was inducted thanks to a historic career as a student-athlete at Dickinson State University from 2002 until 2006. He was honored at the NAIA Track & Field General Session as part of the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCA) annual convention in Orlando, Fla. Barry was a member of the NAIA Hall of Fame Class of 2022, but had been unable to accept the award in-person until this year. 
 
Success is what defined Barry as a student-athlete for the Blue Hawks, having earned All-America status in the high jump in 2002. After a redshirt campaign in 2003, Barry would go on a monumental run. Barry would capture his first long jump national title in 2004, the first of five individual indoor and outdoor national championships. In the high jump, Barry earned five national runner-up finishes and one national title. He also ran on Dickinson State's indoor 4x400m relay team that reset an NAIA record in 2006. 
 
While the individual success is proof enough for 'Hall of Fame' distinction, it is the team victories that truly cemented Barry's career. From 2004 until 2006, the Blue Hawks won three consecutive NAIA outdoor national championships. Dickinson State's closest margin of victory in team scoring during the stretch was 13 points (2006). 
 
After graduating with honors with a double major in biology and Spanish, Barry embarked on a fruitful professional career, competing for his home country of Bahamas. Most notably, Barry competed in two straight Olympic Games in 2012 (London) and 2016 (Rio de Janeiro). In 2016, Barry finished 11^th in the Olympic high jump, clearing 2.25m. In 2011, Barry earned a bronze medal in the high jump at the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea. Also in 2011, Barry won a Central and Caribbean Championship in high jump in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. 
 
Following the 2016 Olympics, Barry moved into coaching, first at North Dakota State University. In his tenure with the Bison, Barry helped coach two NCAA All-Americans and seven national qualifiers. The Bison won a combined 16 Summit League team titles (men and women) throughout Barry's time with NDSU. 
 
Barry would be brought onto the MSUM staff ahead of the 2018-19 season and would immediately make an impact. He helped guide Dragon great Brian Huber to a national championship in his first season. Barry also helped Chris Cook to numerous All-America finishes throughout his storied career. In 2022, Barry was named the NSIC's Assistant Coach of the Year thanks to his work with the Dragon jumps and sprints group. 
 
More recently, Barry helped orchestrate the historic career of Shyrone Kemp, who earned six All-America nods and eight NSIC championships. Last season, Barry guided Ibrahim Oduong to an All-America finish in the 400m during the indoor season. He also led Oduong and Shavantae Roberts to national qualifications during the outdoor slate. Over the past two seasons alone, Barry's student-athletes have reset MSUM school records in nearly every major sprint event. In the fall of 2024, Barry was named the department's NCAA Diversity & Inclusion Designee.
