After being edged out by Noah Lyles at the New Balance Grand Prix last weekend in the 60m, Trayvon Bromell bounced back in a big way on Friday night.
Bromell ran a lifetime best time of 6.42 in the 60m at the Tiger Paw Invitational that was held at Clemson. His time was not only a lifetime best, but it’s the fastest time in the world this season, and the 6th fastest time ever recorded in the event.
Bromell admitted that he wasn’t pleased with his efforts in the 60m last weekend in Boston. At the Tiger Paw Invitational, Bromell ran 6.54 in the preliminary rounds, 6.46 in the semifinals, and then 6.42 in the final.
Bromell is slated to compete at next week’s USATF Indoor Championships.
Bromell is entering this track and field season looking to replicate, if not improve on the success that he achieved last season. He won a bronze medal in the 100m at the World Championships in Oregon last summer.
Here are the final results from the men’s 60m final.
