Olympics: Hazel Clark Husband Wenston Riley, Who Is He?
Hazel Clark’s husband( now Ex-husband) Wenston Riley, proposed to her on live television in 2004. She is currently married to Bermudian Shane Mcilwain after their divorce in 2014.
The Clark family needed a new plot because they had already performed the family reunion act at the Olympics.
That is what happened to Hazel Clark after she and her illustrious sister-in-law, Jearl Miles-Clark, qualified for the 800-meter relay team on Monday night. Miles-Clark finished first in the American Olympic trials in 1 minute, 59.06 seconds.
After placing third, Hazel attempted to leave the track but was almost trampled by spectators thanks to a plot hatched by her fiance, Wenston Riley.
“I couldn’t think of a better place to do it,” said Riley, 27, a one-time high hurdler who now is a Florida probation officer.
seemed ideal for a romance that started four years ago when they met at a stop sign while each was operating a different vehicle. If she was “that runner, Hazel Clark,” he inquired.
When Riley proposed on Monday, Hazel said yes once more and to that. She soon had a bouquet in her arms, a smile on her face, and an engagement ring with three diamonds on her finger.
