Tennessee track star Christian Coleman won titles in the 100 meters and 200 meters on Saturday at the SEC outdoor track and field championships in Columbia, S.C.
A graduate of Our Lady of Mercy in Fayetteville, Ga., Coleman ran the 100 meters in 9.97 seconds and the 200 meters in 19.98.
Coleman is the eighth runner in history to run under 10 seconds in the 100 meters and under 20 seconds in the 200 meters on the same day.
Coleman, a member of the men’s 4x100 relay at the 2016 Rio Olympics, was named the SEC co-runner of the week on May 2.
The junior at Tennessee gained national notoriety earlier this month when he posted a video of himself running an incredibly fast 40-yard dash.
Coleman’s 40 time of 4.12 seconds can be watched below.
