Well, a scorching 9.77 PB at 100 meters, taking the win at the New Life Invitational in Miramar, Florida.
Bromell is a 2016 Olympian and looks poised to do battle on the global stage in 2021 Tokyo. Trayvon has spoken about how he would show all how much his collaboration with Coach Reider has done for him at meets all season, attesting to his deep religious convictions as well.
We welcome a confident Trayvon Bromell back to the sprint wars and congratulate Coach Rana Reider, who told @runblogrun last summer how well Bromell was doing and how he would be back full force!
