Auburn track and field sophomore Akeem Bloomfield is the kind of athlete with both world class talent and charisma that one wants to be a part of their program. At the 2017 SEC Indoor Track and Field Championships, the Kingston, Jamaica-born sprinter claimed the Auburn school record and the third-fastest time in the nation in the 400m with a 45.43 dash. He followed in the outdoor season with a fifth-place finish at the Outdoor NCAA Championships to earn First Team All-American honors. With his charm, spirit and undeniable athletic ability, there is little doubt that Bloomfield will continue to achieve big things in his sophomore year.
