After recently graduating from Purdue University, Samson Colebrooke ran his first race as an Atlanta Track Club Elite Team member in the 100m at the Tokyo Olympics. Representing the Bahamas, Colebooke ran an impressive 10.33 during the 100m prelims.
Colebrooke was a six-time All-American as a Boilermaker and two-time Big Ten Conference champion. As Colebrooke begins his professional career, he looks to improve upon his world class 100m and 200m personal bests of 10.01 and 20.41.
"Competing at the Olympic games was an incredible experience with a level of excitement that I never felt at any other track meet before," said Colebrooke. "Having the privilege to be around the world's greatest athletes has definitely added to my drive to be better."
