Before the coronavirus ... nigel talton was training for this year's olympic trials, hoping to finally fulfill his dream of earning a spot on the team ... but as you know ... the virus postponed the summer olympics until 20-21, so the fort valley native didn't get the chance ... now nigel has a dream of becoming a professional track and field sprinter ... he's been running track since 2008 ... and is determined to make his dream come true ... he puts in work nearly every single day ... and his drive and passion to get better is incredible ... as a matter of fact ... let's peep some video ... he's a national champion at shorter university ... he also set the iowa wesleyan men's outdoor record in the 100 meter dash at 10.54 seconds in 2010 ... in 2013 ... he placed 8th in the indoor 60 meter dash ... this year ... he made it to the semifinals ... he tore his hamstring in 2016 ... two weeks before the olympic trials ... but he didn't give up ... the pandemic may be another road block ... but nigel won't let his dream die!
