Frances Anne "Francie" Larrieu Smith (November 23, 1952) is an American track and field athlete. She was the flagbearer at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona for the United States of America. Larrieu Smith was the third female American athlete to make five American Olympic teams, behind the six of fencer Jan York-Romary and Track and Field's Willye White. The feat was later equaled by basketball player Teresa Edwards, track and field's Gail Devers, cyclist/speedskater Chris Witty and swimmer Dara Torres.[1] After one of the longest elite careers on record, she retired from that level of competition.
She won a World Road Race Championships silver medal at 15 km in 1990. Larrieu Smith is also a former world indoor record holder at the mile. She holds the Texas Relays Women's Invitational Record for both the 1,500 meters and 10,000 meters, set in 1983 and 1991, respectively.
From 1999 to 2019, Larrieu Smith was a cross country and track coach at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas.[2] In 2019 Coach Smith retired from Southwestern, and passed the torch on the cross country, track and field (XC T&F) program. She lives happily in central Texas with her husband.
