Could Hillsborough High School senior Erriyon Knighton one day be known as the world’s fastest human? He’s definitely on the right track, so to speak, as he continues to open eyes in the global track community.
In the recent LSU Invitational, Knighton ran the 200-meter race in 19.49 seconds – breaking the world U-20 record. That mark trails only the legendary Usain Bolt’s world-record time of 19.19, Yohan Blake’s 19.26 and Michael Johnson’s 19.32 American record.
Knighton turned pro at age 16 when he signed an endorsement deal with Adidas. He gave up a promising football career to do that.
