Kerron Clement

Former University of Florida star Kerron Clement became just the fourth Gator male to win a world track & field championship on Tuesday morning, as he claimed gold in the 400mH at the 2007 IAAF World Championships in Osaka, Japan. Clement crossed the line in 47.61, the world’s fastest outdoor time in 2007, to win his first-career world championship. He outdistanced Felix Sanchez of the Dominican Republic by a full four tenths of a second to take the win, and fell just shy of his personal-best mark of 47.24.

Sophomore Kerron Clement (La Porte, Texas) broke the world record in the 400-meter dash with the 4x400-meter relay team setting the collegiate record in leading the Florida men\'s track and field team to second
