Dillon Mitchell Eyes 2028 Olympics After Record 60m Win

Dillon Mitchell, a 16‑year‑old from C.E. King High School, broke the US 60‑meter record and is targeting the 2028 Summer Olympics.

Dillon Mitchell ran a new US number‑one time in the 60m, a record that has put him on the radar for the 2028 Olympics. He says the speed feels like a blink of an eye and credits his father, Billy, who has coached him since age four.

Looking ahead, Dillon plans to play football and run track in college, but his primary goal remains qualifying for the 2028 Games. His family stresses the importance of staying grounded while pursuing elite competition.
