Prior to the World Championships, De Grasse won both the 100m and 200m at the Pan American Games in his hometown of Toronto. He also claimed titles in the 100m and 200m at the NCAA Championships in Eugene last June.
His 200m winning time of 19.58w stands as the fastest 200m ever run by a collegian under all conditions. At the time, it was also the fastest mark run in the world under all conditions in 2015.
PUMA also recently signed NCAA Champion Jenna Prandini following her title-winning performance in the 100m at the NCAA Championships. The former Oregon Duck made her debut in PUMA spikes while competing in the 200m for the United States at the World Championships in August.
Congrats @De6rasse welcome to the Puma family!ðŸ™ÂÂÂŒ🽠@PUMARunning @PUMA
