Fred Kerley career
Kerley qualified to represent the United States in the 400-meter and 4 × 400-meter relay at the World Championships in London after winning the 400-meter event at the USATF Championships in 44.03 seconds, just a few weeks after going professional and signed with Nike.

On April 24, he broke the 10-second record at the TRUfit Classic in Miami, winning in 9.91 seconds.
He defeated former Olympic and world champion Justin Gatlin, who finished second in 10.08 seconds, to win the men’s 100-meter race in 9.96 seconds on May 19 at the Golden Spike in Ostrava. In addition, Kerley finished second in the 200-meter race with a timing of 20.27 seconds, well behind the winner, Kenny Bednarek, who finished in 19.93 seconds.
