BEIJING – Four-time world champion and former Florida track and field standout Kerron Clement will indeed have his chance to make history at the 2015 IAAF World Championships.
On day two in Beijing, Clement—who claimed 400-meter hurdles world titles in 2007 and 2009—took second place in his 400-meter hurdles semifinal heat with a time of 48.50 seconds, automatically advancing to Tuesday night's final. This will be the fifth time Clement races in the World Championships 400-meter hurdles final.
The two-time Olympic medalist is looking to become the sixth American male with five World Championships gold medals. Moreover, Clement, already one of three men in history to win the 400-meter hurdles world title twice, is vying to be the first man to collect three World Championships gold medals in the event.
A medal of any color would be the fifth of Clement's career, which would tie Dennis Mitchell and Novlene Williams-Mills for the most World Championships medals by a Gator.
NBC will air a tape-delayed version of the Aug. 23 evening session at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
