Erriyon Knighton is an American track and field sprinter who shot to fame as the holder of the world under-18 and world under-20 records in the 200-meter race, having achieved the stunning feat in the US Track & Field Olympic Team Trials held in Eugene in Oregon on June 27, 2021. The 17-year old high school student from Florida finished 3rd, doing more than just qualify for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
