One of the greatest athletes in Lincoln's 151-year history, Terrelonge  earned a total of 19 All-American awards during his career at Lincoln.  In 1991 Terrelonge was the indoor and outdoor NCAA III champion in the 800.  His 1:47.56 still stands as the outdoor national meet record.  Terrelonge was also a part of seven 4 x 400 relay championship teams with indoor titles in 1989, 1990 and 1991.  Outdoors, he and his teammates added the 1988 win as well. Terrelonge twice competed on track & field's biggest stage when he represented Jamaica in the 1992 and the 1996 Olympic games while running the 800 meters. 

"This is a great moment for Lincoln University," Lincoln head coach Cyrus Jones said. "I am thrilled for Clive because it couldn't have happened to a nicer person. This is also a tremendous honor for our track program and I am glad to be a part of it."

Terrelonge is finishing his first season as an assistant women's track coach at the University of Connecticut in Storres. Before joining Connecticut's staff, Terrelonge served as a volunteer assistant sprints/hurdles coach for Brown University's track and field program.

Prior to his position at Brown, Terrelonge was an assistant women's and men's sprints coach at Lincoln from 1996 to 2000. In 1998, he helped lead the women's squad to an NCAA Division III Championship and produced eight All-American sprinters/hurdlers that year. During his time as an assistant at Lincoln, the men captured six NCAA indoor and outdoor titles and two runner-up trophies. The men's sprinters also set five NCAA records and earned over sixty All-America honors.

From 1993-1998, Terrelonge traveled around the world on the Grand Prix Track and Field tour. He achieved success in the 400 and 800-meter and was a four-time Jamaica National Champion from 1992-1996. Terrelonge was a two-time Olympian for Jamaica in Barcelona in 1992 and in Atlanta in 1996. In 1995, he also became the first Jamaican ever to win a World Championship gold medal in the 800-meter.
