Two years ago, during App State track and field senior sprinter William Buckley’s sophomore year, he caught others’ attention with his speed. As this outdoor track season heats up, Buckley has been proving he can still compete at that high level.
Posting the fifth fastest 100-meter dash in the Sun Belt in 2015, running it in 10 minutes, 30 seconds and the seventh fastest 200-meter, running a 21:01, getting back to this level of success has been Buckley’s goal since then.
“Right now, it’s about going back to the things I did before, and thinking that I’m at the bottom trying to work my way to the top,” Buckley said.
