A five-time NAIA national champion, Tyrell Cuffy '11 became the third Tornado track & field student-athlete inducted into the hall of fame. The Cayman Islands native won both the 2008 and 2009 NAIA national championships in the 100 meter dash, and claimed three NAIA national championships in the 200 meter dash (2007, 2008, 2009). As a result of King's transition to NCAA Division II, Cuffy was unable to compete during his senior season, halting his bid for four consecutive national titles in the 200 meter dash.

Cuffy earned NAIA All-American honors an amazing 13 times (indoor and outdoor) during his three years competing at the national championships. He claimed top five finishes in the 4x100 meter relay at the NAIA Outdoor National Championships all three years and a sixth place finish in the 4x400 meter relay in 2007. At the NAIA Indoor National Championships, he finished in the top five in both the 60 meter dash and 200 meter dash in both 2008 and 2009.

Cuffy is a member of three school-record relay teams, the 4x400 meter relay indoor, and both the 4x100 meter relay and 4x400 meter relay outdoor teams. His times in 60 meter dash (indoor) and the 100 meters and 200 meters outdoor are second only to his teammate, fellow Cayman Islander and Olympian Kemar Hyman. In 2007, Cuffy won a silver medal at the Pan American Junior Championships in Brazil in the 200 meter dash.
