Talley Becomes National Junior Champion In 200m Dash

Release: 06/27/2009

EUGENE, Oregon (6/27/09) – All season long North Texas freshman sprinter Keyth Talley opened eyes with his record-breaking speed and personal achievements throughout his first collegiate season. Now the Tuscaloosa, Alabama native can add a National Junior Championship to his resume.

Talley became the first athlete in school history to take home gold at the Junior USA Championships with his first-place finish in the 200-meter dash Saturday afternoon at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field. His time of 20.86 easily beat out second-place finisher Keith Ricks of Virginia Tech (21.18). Talley also had the best time in the prelims (20.85).

"My gameplan coming in was just to catch whoever was in front of me," Talley said. "When I hit that corner I just relaxed and everything else came easy.This is a great feeling and it will be the first time for me to leave the country. I'm excited about representing the USA."

Talley advances to the 2009 Pan American Junior Athletic Championships, which will be held at Hasley Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad July 31-August 2. He will compete in the 200-meter dash and will almost surely be a part of at least one of the relay teams.
