Donavan Brazier has reportedly moved from College Station, Texas to Orlando, Florida to train with American record-holder Johnny Gray and his star pupil Duane Solomon. The collegiate record-holder turned pro athlete posted a photo on Instagram with Solomon and Gray that announced the news.
"You want to be the best you have to train with/by the best," Brazier wrote, and tagged Solomon, Gray, Andrew Dawson, and Sean Obinwa.
As a college freshman at Texas A&M, Brazier broke the 800m collegiate record on his way to winning the NCAA championship last June. Brazier broke Jim Ryun's 50-year-old NCAA record by running 1:43.55. Shortly after, the 19-year-old decided to forgo his NCAA eligibility to sign a professional contract with Nike.
Gray, a four-time Olympian and an Olympic bronze medalist, has been coaching Solomon for several years. Solomon finished fourth at the 2012 Olympic Games and sixth at the 2013 world championships.
Gray is the fastest American all-time and Solomon stands as the second-fastest American on the all-time list.
