A happy and determined Fred Kerley after the Hurricane Invitational
Season 2024 got off to a rocky start for Fred Kerley. He finished fourth in the 60-meter final at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. A few weeks later, after this performance, he was replaced by Noah Lyles in the 4×400-meter relay by Team USA. Kerley was not deterred from continuing his training, despite his disappointment at the officials’ decision.
As a 100-meter sprinter, Kerley was invited to compete at the Hurricane Invitational in Florida. This time, the track sensation gave his fans exactly what they wanted. He showed off his speed in preparation for the Paris Olympics, and he utterly destroyed the competition, winning gold.
