Texas A&M Track & Field/Cross Country took to Twitter to announce the new record that has been set up by Aggie Olympian Bryce Deadmon. They tweeted, “

AGGIE OLYMPIAN BRYCE DEADMON RUNS THE FASTEST 400M TIME IN THE WORLD THIS YEAR ‼️” He was racing in the 44 Farms Team invitational, an event where the likes of Hasani Barr from Baylor who clocked 46.18 in 2022 and LSU’s Noah Willaims with his 44.37 in 2021 have raced. Deadmon’s time?

The tweet further read, “

HE CROSSED THE LINE IN 44.30 🤯.” Well, Bailey’s record didn’t even last 10 days, but that is just how track and field is. Putting on a black tee and gray trunks, the 28-year-old took his mark in lane number 7. At first, he was slow, or better said, the engine was just warming up.

Come the last curve of the track and come Bryce Deadmon – the speed demon comes out, and the commenter goes,

“His push-up to the date, Bryce Denman with a strong finish…..And Denman with a 40.30.” The four-time Olympic champion just accelerated in the few meters of the race and he accelerated well enough the nobody was not even close.

Just take a look at his dominance! William Jones, who finished second, clocked 45.09 seconds. Jalen Williams finished third with a 45.49. Nobody was in the 44 bracket, but that is just how good Bryce is in 400m. Want more proof? Just dive in!
