It only took a couple of months of competition in Knoxville before Sylvester rewrote the Tennessee record books; he broke the 600m and the 800m records. Later, the 2002 outdoor season was just as impressive as Sylvester clocked 1:46 to finish sixth at the NCAA outdoor championship. This was followed by a disappointing 2003 season when Sylvester red shirted indoors and did not make the outdoors finals. In 2004, Sylvester returned to NCAAs again and earned another All-American certificate when he finished eighth. After 2004, Sylvester stayed out of the track spotlight but he is currently working with Coach Gagliano in Eugene, OR. |
