Trayvon Bromell

Trayvon Jaquez Bromell (born July 10, 1995) is an American professional track and field athlete specializing in sprinting events.

Bromell was the 2016 World indoor 60 meters champion, and competed for the United States at the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

[4] With his win in the 100 m he qualified to represent the United States in the 100 m and the 4 × 100 meters relay at international championships that year.

[6] On June 13, 2014, Bromell ran 9.92 in the semifinals at the NCAA Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, but that result did not enter the record books, because it was ruled wind-assisted due to a +2.2mps tail-wind with +2.0mps being the maximum allowable tail-wind for times to be considered legal.

In 2015, he returned to Eugene at the NCAA Championships, improving his personal best time to 9.90 in the preliminary round of the 100m.

[10] At the 2015 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, in June 2015, Bromell won his first round heat in a personal best time of 9.84 seconds, tying him as the tenth fastest 100m runner of all time with Canadian legends Donovan Bailey and Bruny Surin.

[11] Bromell made his Diamond League debut at the 2015 Herculis meeting in Monaco, competing in the 100m and 4 × 100 m relay.

Bromell went on to tie for the Bronze Medal in the final, running 9.92 seconds to equal his college rival Andre De Grasse of Canada, whose 9.92 was a personal best.

However, a mishap in the final exchange resulted in a disqualification for the team, stripping Bromell and his teammates of their medal.

Winning in front of a home crowd in Oregon, Bromell also beat Jamaican veteran Asafa Powell, who ran 6.44 seconds in the heats and the semi-finals, both while easing down.

Bromell's time of 9.84 seconds equaled his personal best, which he coincidentally set on the same venue (Hayward Field).

The next day, as with the year before, Bromell was drawn in the same semi-final as Andre De Grasse and Usain Bolt, and finished third once again behind the two.

Bromell edged out Chijindu Ujah of Great Britain by 2 milliseconds to take the last qualifying spot for the final, in 10.01 seconds.

Bromell rested up for the 4 × 100 m final, where he would switch places with Michael Rodgers to run anchor leg instead of first.

More disappointment came as it was revealed that an improper first exchange resulted in a disqualification, therefore stripping Bromell and his very same teammates from Beijing of their medal once again.

At the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Bromell failed to make the 100m final after coming in third in his semi-final, one millisecond behind second-place finisher Enoch Adegoke of Nigeria with both runners being assigned an official time of 10.00 seconds.

On September 18, Bromell competed at the Kip Keino Classic in Nairobi, Kenya placing first and beating his personal best by running a time of 9.76 seconds.
