Louie Hinchliffe Makes History as First European to Win Men's 100m at NCAA Championships

Posted : 08 June 2024

British sprinter Louie Hinchliffe has made history by becoming the first European to clinch the men's 100m title at the NCAA Championships. The 21-year-old Sheffield native clocked an impressive time of 9.95 seconds in Eugene, Oregon, securing the US collegiate championship and marking himself as the sixth fastest British sprinter. His time ranks as the ninth fastest globally this year and stands as the best by any European athlete.

 

Representing the University of Houston, where he trains under the guidance of nine-time Olympic champion Carl Lewis, Hinchliffe's victory adds to his growing accolades. Despite acknowledging his form wasn't at its best, Hinchliffe pushed hard to cross the finish line first, expressing his dedication to the race.

 

Hinchliffe's remarkable achievement sets him up for further success as he prepares to compete at the UK Championships in Manchester later this month, aiming to secure a spot in this summer's Paris Olympics. With a personal best of 10.17 coming into 2024, Hinchliffe's continuous improvement, including a wind-assisted 9.84 in the NCAA regionals, showcases his potential to make a significant impact on the international sprinting stage.
