JACOB NORMAN
HARKER HEIGHTS — Baylor University freshman sprinter Jacob Norman, a native of Temple, clocked the nation’s fastest 60 meters on February 24 with a time of 6.58 seconds. Two and a half weeks later, on Saturday, March 11, Norman lowered his previous time by two-hundredths of a second to earn an indoors title at the National Collegiate Athletics Association Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The 20-year-old sprinter posted an impressive time of 6.56 seconds in the finals of the NCAA 60 meters to edge out a talented field of speedsters, which included Florida State University sophomore Walter Dix (6.62), University of Wisconsin junior Demi Omole (6.64), University of Texas at Austin freshman Jamaal Charles (6.67) and UT senior Trey Griffin (6.69).
Norman returns to competition on Saturday, March 25, during the Dr. Pepper Classic at Hart Patterson Track and Field Complex in Waco, Texas, where he will contest the 100 meters.

Jacob Norman born with a gifted ability to run fast (which came naturally). Growing up Jacob did not realize his speed would be so dominate in his life to become the track and field NCAA indoor champion.
We are very proud of him
