Tyreek Hill (born March 1, 1994) is an American sprinter who specializes in the 100 and 200 metres. He is an incoming freshman at Garden City Community College.
A native of Douglas, Georgia, Hill attended Coffee High School, where he won both the 100 metres and 200 metres at the 2012 Georgia 5A state meet.[1][2]
On May 26, 2012, at the 36th Golden South Classic in Orlando, Florida, Hill ran new personal bests in the 100 m (10.19) and 200 m (20.14).[3] His time in the 200 m missed Roy Martin's 1985 national high school record by only one hundredth of a second. As of May 2012[update], it is the fastest time by a junior athlete in the 2012 season, and in fact the fastest by a junior since Ramil Guliyev's 20.04 in 2009. His time in the 100 m ties Abraham Hall for second fastest by a junior in the 2012 season, behind only Adam Gemili.
He was a USA Today All-American track and field selection in 2012.[4]
