Published by ALTIS on December 30, 2015

The ALTIS men’s short sprint crew just got a whole lot faster. 

Already boasting a line-up including Beijing World Championship bronze medalist Anaso Jobodwana, African Champion Wilfried Koffi, NCAA Champion Ameer Webb, Canadian Olympian Akeem Haynes, Samoan speedster Jeremy Dodson, World Championship 4x100m relay bronze medalists Justyn Warner and Dontae Richards-Kwok, we are excited to welcome NCAA Champion, Pan Am Games Champion and World Championship 100m bronze medalist Andre De Grasse to the mix. 

It was quite the season for Canada’s new sprint superstar. Beginning with what may be the most impressive sprint double in history, where he doubled up at NCAA Championships – winning the 100 in 9.75 and the 200 in 19.57 barely an hour later, Andre went on to also double at the Pan Am Games in his home city of Toronto, before winning bronze in Beijing with a new PR of 9.92 in what was his 52nd race of a long season!
