- Trevor Misipeka (born 17 June 1979) is a professional American football arena football player from Temecula, California, United States. He currently plays for the Quad City Steamwheelers in the Arena Football League's af2 league. He is chiefly known for his performance in the 100 metres in the 2001 World Athletics Championships, held in Edmonton, Canada. He represented American Samoa and had originally intended to compete in the shotput, but the Samoan federation discovered that the IAAF's policy of allowing competitors from small countries to enter without meeting qualifying standards had recently been changed, and now applied only to track events and not field ones. Having already arrived at the championships, he was told by the Samoan federation with just two days notice that he was instead being entered for the 100 metres. Weighing over 133 kg (290 lb), he unsurprisingly finished last in his heat, recording a time of 14.28 seconds, nearly four seconds behind the winner Kim Collins. It was one of the slowest times ever seen in the World Championships. He was nicknamed "Trevor the Tortoise" in a similar vein to other popular sporting failures such as Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards and Eric "The Eel" Moussambani. After the championships he completed a business degree at California Baptist University and then turned to indoor football, playing for San Diego Riptide from 2002 until 2005.
- Trevor Misipeka (Nacido el 17 de Junio de 1979) es un jugador profesional de Fútbol Americano bajo techo, oriundo de Temecula, California, Estados Unidos. Actualmente juega para el equipo Quad City Steamwheelers en la Liga Arena Football League. Es ampliamente conocido por su desempeño en los 100 metros planos en el Campeonato Mundial de Atletismo de 2001 en Edmonton, Canada, representando a Samoa Americana. Originalmente pensaba competir en Lanzamiento de bala, pero la federación Samoana descubrió que habían cambiado las políticas de la IAAF que permitían competir a atletas de pequeños países sin la marca mínima para clasificar, y ahora solo aplicaban para las pruebas de pista y no para las de campo. Al llegar a los campeonatos, la federación Samoana le comunicó con solo dos días de anticipación que debía correr los 100 metros. Debido a su sobrepeso (133kg), no fue sorpresa su último lugar de su serie, registrando un tiempo de 14"28, más de cuatro segundos detrás del ganador Kim Collins. Fue uno de los peores tiempos jamás vistos en un campeonato mundial. Fue apodado "Trevor la Tortuga" de manera similar a otros atletas que tuvieron popularidad debido a su pobre desempeño, como Eddie "El Águila" Edwards y Eric "La Anguila" Moussambani. Después de los campeonatos, terminó sus estudios de negocios en la Universidad Bautista de California y regresó al Fútbol Americano bajo techo, jugando para el equipo San Diego Riptide de 2002 a 2005.
