Chari Hawkins just lept into married life.
The American track and field athlete married longtime love Charles O’Neal III on September 27, PEOPLE can exclusively confirm.
The happy couple, who met in 2010 in a training group for the Utah State University track and field team and got engaged in May 2017, said “I do” at River Bottoms Ranch in Midway, Utah.

“Our goal was to follow all state and county guidelines to ensure that we had a safe and successful event,” the heptathlete tells PEOPLE, noting, “We also proactively created our wedding to be more static than interactive as an additional precaution.”
Attendees also had to provide information for contact tracing, though Hawkins says no cases of coronavirus have been linked to the wedding.
The groom walked down the aisle in a white tux jacket with black tux pants from The Black Tux.
Groomsmen wore tuxedos also from The Black Tux, and bridesmaids' gowns were from Azazie.
The venue was decked out with rentals from Diamond Rentals and BBJ Linens, and florist Rachael Ellen Events created the light pink arrangements Hawkins carried and that covered the venue.
