Trayvon Jaquez Bromell (born July 10, 1995) is an American track and field athlete specializing in sprinting events. He is the first junior to surpass the 10-second barrier.
On March 29, 2014, Bromell tied the world junior record in the 100 metres, running a 10.01 at the Texas Relays in Austin, Texas, while representing Baylor University. Just one day before the race, Bromell came within .01 of the record with a 10.02. Following the meet, Bromell was named "2014 Texas Relays Most Outstanding Performer." The last Baylor athlete to receive the same honor was Michael Johnson, 24 years earlier.
On June 13, 2014, Bromell ran 9.92 in the semifinals at the NCAA Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, but that result will not become a record because it was wind aided by a +2.2 mps wind. The following day, he ran 9.97 in the final, with a legal +1.8 mps wind. Pending ratification, that should give him sole possession of the record. Bromell is the first freshman since Walter Dix in 2005 to win the 100 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Bromell had previous brushes with the record in 2013 as a high school athlete at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg, Florida, running 9.99 while dusting an elite high school field in the Great Southwest Classic at altitude assisted Albuquerque, New Mexico. However, that race could not count as a record due to the 4.0 mps wind assistance, which is double the allowable amount. (See the race.) Earlier in the season he won the 200 metres at the National Scholastic Indoor Championships against a similarly talented field. He was named the Gatorade Player of the Year for 2013.
