Dezerea Bryant: Kentucky’s Sprinting Supernova
A Meteoric Two-Year Reign (2014-15)
In just two seasons at Kentucky, Dezerea Bryant established herself as one of the most electrifying sprinters in collegiate history:
-
2× NCAA Champion (200m – 2014 Indoor & 2015 Outdoor)
-
NCAA Outdoor 200m Record (22.18 seconds in 2015)
-
5× NCAA Medalist (2 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze across 60m/100m/200m)
-
9× All-American Honors
-
SEC Indoor 60m Champion (2014)
-
10× SEC Medalist (1 gold, 6 silver, 3 bronze)
Professional Ascension
Since leaving UK, Bryant has:
🏅 Won 2019 U.S. Championships 200m
🌍 Claimed 4x100m Gold at 2019 World Relays (Team USA)
⚡ Ranked Top 10 globally in the 200m multiple seasons
Why She Stands Out
Most decorated short-term track star in UK history – Achieved in just 2 seasons
Broke the collegiate 200m outdoor record – A mark that still stands among the fastest ever
Elite versatility – Medaled in every short sprint event (60m-200m)
“Two years. Nine All-American honors. One unforgettable legacy of speed.”
