MIKE RODGERS
One of the world’s fastest men, Mike Rodgers is a decorated sprint athlete. During his collegiate career, which he started at Lindenwood University before moving on to Oklahoma Baptist, Mike was a 10-time NAIA National Champion in sprint and relay events. He remains the NAIA record holder in the Indoor 60 meter sprint, with a time of 6.65 seconds. Mike didn’t slow down once he joined the pro ranks. He was the USATF Indoor Champion in the 60 meters in 2008 and again in 2011. In 2009, he was the United States Champion in the 100 meter sprint with a run of 9.91 seconds. He went on to win the silver medal in the 60 meter sprint at the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships. He picked up his first IAAF World Outdoor Championships medal, also a silver, as a member of the 4×100 relay team at the 2013 World Championships. He has since competed in the IAAF World Outdoor Championships in 2015 and the IAAF World Indoor Championships in 2016.
His personal bests are 9.85 seconds in the 100m and 6.48 seconds in the 6om.
