All Fred Kerley does is win. He does it convincingly and impressively while setting records along the way.

After recently conquering the USATF Outdoor Championships, all eyes were on the fastest man alive as he took part in the World Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon over the weekend.

Even with all the hype surrounding him, Fred Kerley lived up to it and didn’t disappoint. The Olympic track and field silver medalist and proud Fan Arch athlete led the Team USA’s medal sweep in the 100m event.

After setting the two fastest times of the year in the USATF, Fred Kerley went on to finish the 100m dash in the World Track and Field Championships at a whopping 9.86 seconds.

His fellow Americans Marvin Bracy-Williams and Trayvon Bromell each ran an impressive 9.88 for a podium finish. But with Fred Kerley in the mix, we know everyone else is just competing for second place.

The Americans’ medal sweep of the event, meanwhile, marked the US’ first time in the world men’s 100m since 1991 and the first in any event at worlds since 2007. Team USA is finally asserting its dominance in athletics once more, and Fred Kerley is leading the charge.

After that silver medal finish in the Olympics last year, Fred Kerley has been a man on a mission. We can see his feverish drive to win in every run and the preparations he made to be in peak performance.

In the final desperate strides of this world 100m final, Fred Kerley looked like a real-life superhero. While his opponents were all straining, flailing, and losing form just to reach the finish line, Fred Kerley finished with a big smile on his face and instinctively stuck his chest out and thrust his arms back.

Fred Kerley wasn’t even supposed to be here. He had his sights on becoming an NFL player but ultimately change sports after breaking his collar bone in his senior year of high school. Fred Kerley was also a 400m runner back in 2019 but switched to the 100m and 200m when his ankles felt a little sore at the 2021 US Olympic trials.

Look where he is now. Fred Kerley is unstoppable and we’re all enjoying the ride.
