She has put together several undefeated seasons, broken IPC World Records 14 times and American Records 18 times, won 3 Paralympic medals and 5 World Championship medals.

Off the track, Holmes runs the April Holmes Foundation, Inc. a non-profit organization assisting people with physical and learning disabilities with scholarships and medical equipment.
