USC sprinter Andre De Grasse sets NCAA record in 200M at NCAAs
Andre De Grasse is the fastest collegiate sprinter ... ever ... in the 200 meters.
De Grasse clocked a sizzling (and record-setting) time of 19.58 seconds in the 200 for his second victory of the day at the NCAA Track and Field championships in Eugene, Ore.
His first win came in the 100M where De Grasse posted a time of 9.75 ... the fastest collegiate time in track and field this season, and the second fastest time ever.
