AUSTIN, Texas – Add another title to the trophy case for Florida Gator Grant Holloway. Two, for that matter.
The Grassfield High product out of Chesapeake won two national championships at the NCAA Track & Field Championships on Friday night. As the third led in the 4×100-meter relay team, Florida broke the NCAA record with a 37.97 clock to win the title.
Shortly after, Holloway ran a 12.98 in the 110-meter hurdles to win the NCAA championship in the race for the third time in his career. His time of 12.98 broke a 40-year old record, set by Renaldo Nehemiah.
In his collegiate career, Holloway has now won six national titles in hurdles (60 & 110-meters).
