Sophomore sprinter Jamarion Stubbs made history at the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and placed seventh overall in the 200-meter dash and earned First Team All-American honors.
“To be an All-American is a dream come true. I would like to thank Coach Beene, Coach Anderson, my teammates, and our athletic training staff for supporting and preparing me to achieve this honor,” Stubbs said.
The Las Vegas native turns his attention to the 2024 United States Olympic Team Trials, which is being held in Eugene, Oregon. Stubbs will compete in the 200-meter dash and have a chance to represent Team USA at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.
As Stubbs prepares for this monumental moment, he is thankful for the support he’s received.
“The support has been overwhelming and I’m beyond thankful,” Stubbs said. “As a kid, you always dreamed about being an Olympian and now I have a chance to achieve that. To get there though I need to continue my training routine and put myself in the best possible position to achieve my goals. Coach Beene and Coach Anderson have prepared me well and I’m excited to share this moment with them.”
For Coach Beene, it’s the culmination of a vision.
“Jamarion competing in the trials is a testament to his hard work on the track and staying the course. Coach Anderson, his event coach, understands what performing at this level means to our brand,” Beene said. “Him competing in the trials was a part of my vision for the program. It’s now a reality.”
Olympic Trials will be broadcast on NBC, Peacock, and USA Network.
