Devon Allen '13 has had a big year. He achieved NCAA All-American status (for the second time) with a first-place finish in the 110 meter hurdles, then won the same event at the Olympic Trials with the second fastest time in the world this year of 13.03. He'll compete with Team U.S.A. in Rio with his event scheduled for Monday, August 15 (first round) and Tuesday, August 16 (semifinals and final).

Allen attends the University of Oregon where he runs track and plays football for the Ducks. The New York Times featured him in a story on athletes who run track and play football, and his story has been featured on a number of sports pages. He told AZCentral, "My advantage is being fast...with me being a little younger and kind of new to hurdles, I'm trying to catch up as well as I can to the hurdle technique."

Devon Allen '13, Brophy is behind you! Good luck in Rio!
