Fred Kerley, the American phenom, had been under fire from the track and field community lately for his second arrest in the last five months. That, and the fact that he had a slow start to the 2025 season, repeatedly getting smoked in track races, added to his misery. But looks like the man is ready to silence them all. He’s voiced a quiet yet powerful reminder of his resilience over the year. He is who he is because of a lot many factors, and Kerley just laid them out in the open!
May 13, Fred Kerley added a post on X, reminding everyone who may have forgotten, “I Am The Standard.” He wrote, “Every medal I’ve earned carries more than weight – it carries pain, sacrifice, and a story the world will never fully understand.” He continued, “I didn’t just show up- I arrived in a sport where greatness is expected and pressure is constant.” But Kerley proudly claims, “From the 400 to the 100, I didn’t follow the blueprint I broke it.” Well, that’s what he feels makes him the standard!
