Collegiate athletics houses so much talent! Luckily, it was all displayed this weekend at the SEC Outdoor Track and field Championships. But one man clearly stole the show with his 100-200m sweep! He set some new and unbelievably fast standards that will now be hard to match even for the pro sprinters all season long. No wonder an American track and field coach had to highlight a rising trend in NCAA athletics after the SEC track meet 2025. Any guesses what’s happening?
Well, we’re talking about none other than Jordan Anthony. Then man completed a 100-200m sweep at the SEC track and field championships, running both sub 10 and sub 20 in the same meet. Yes, a 9.95s and a 19.93s were enough for him to add 21.5 points to the Arkansas roster and lead them to the men’s SEC outdoor championships title. But, his speed inspired Coach Rob to talk about the rising standards of the SEC.
Yes, on May 19, Coach Rob uploaded a YouTube video where he talked about how fast one needs to run to shine at the SEC. Well, the answer is: VERY fast. Yes, Coach Rob says, “If you look at the top of the leaderboards like the
people who get close to or actually make the final, you’re going to see a lot of the same names across the different events, because in a conference like the SEC where everybody is fast, like if you can’t break 20.6 you don’t even have a prayer of making the 200 meter final.” Well yeah, that’s how speedy these guys are.
