Grant Holloway (born November 19, 1997) is an American hurdler and sprinter. He attended Grassfield High School in Chesapeake, Virginia. He is the world champion (2019) in the 110 meter hurdles. He won three straight indoor and outdoor NCAA championships in the 60 m hurdles and 110 m hurdles from 2017 to 2019, and is the current National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) record holder in both events in addition to the 4 × 100 m relay.

Career

He was one of the most versatile athletes in the NCAA, setting personal bests of 6.50 s in the 60 m dash, 12.98 s in the 110 m hurdles, 8.17 m in the long jump, and a 43.75 s split in the 4 × 400 m relay while competing for the Florida Gators. He holds the NCAA and American record in the 60 m hurdles with a time of 7.35 s, set at the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships in 2019. The time of 7.35 s in the 60 m hurdles also makes him the third fastest man in the event in history.[7][9][8] His NCAA record of 12.98 s in the 110 m hurdles, set at the 2019 championships, broke a 40-year-old record held by former world record holder Renaldo Nehemiah.[12] He was a member of the championship and record breaking 4 × 100 m relay team at the 2019 championships, which clocked the first sub-38 relay in NCAA history with a time of 37.97 s.[13]

Prior to setting the NCAA and American record in the 60 m hurdles, in February 2018 he set the NCAA record with a 7.42 s clocking at the Clemson Tiger Paw Invitational, beating and taking the record away from Olympic champion in the 110 m hurdles Omar McLeod.[6][14] Later that year he clocked 13.15 s in the 110 m hurdles at the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Championships, winning the meet in the second fastest time in NCAA history.[15][16] This became the third fastest time a year later at the same meet when Holloway ran 13.07 s, just 0.07 s slower than Renaldo Nehemiah's NCAA record.[17]

Holloway was NCAA champion in both the 60 m hurdles and the 110 m hurdles from 2017 to 2019, champion in both the 60 m dash and 60 m hurdles in 2019, and had multiple podium finishes in the long jump, 4 × 100 m relay, and 4 × 400 m relay in the same years. His performances were critical in helping the Florida Gators win the team titles at the 2017 NCAA Division I Championships, the 2018 NCAA Division I Indoor Championships, and the 2019 NCAA Division I Indoor Championships. He was one of three finalists for The Bowerman award in 2018 and was the fan favorite.[18][19][20]
