Project Description
DUANE SOLOMON
Duane Solomon is one of America’s premier runners at 800m. The 2013 USA Outdoor Champion in the 800 represented Team USA well at the 2012 Olympics, where he finished fourth in the 800-meter final. To achieve that, Duane set a new personal best time of 1:42.82 to become the second fastest American ever in the 800m. He is second fastest in the world in the 600 meters, a mark set in 2013 with a time of 1:13.28 at the Harry Jerome Classic. In addition to his success on the outdoor circuit, Duane is also a two-time U.S. Indoor Champion in the 800m. He has competed once at the World Indoor Championships and twice at World Outdoor Championships.
