Jarryd Wallace is thrilled to be fresh off of making his third Paralympic Team. During the Paralympic Trials, which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota last week, Wallace took control of the 100m T64, winning the event in 10.99. That time is the fastest in the world this year and would have won him a silver medal at the 2016 Paralympic games. Wallace went on to finish third in the 200m T64 with 23.55 and will be representing Team USA in Tokyo in that event as well. Here his take on the Paralympic Trials and the upcoming games by watching the video above.
