Record-breaking UB sprinter Ryan Billian looks to achieve his Olympic Dream

When Ryan Billian was younger, his mom used to tell him he was wasting his talent.

Billian played a ton of sports when he was younger, excelling at them all but never specialized in one. He played soccer, track, baseball, bowling, archery, football, tennis, golf and volleyball.

Now, Billian is determined to maximize his own potential in just one sport: track and field.

Billian is one of the most decorated athletes at UB. He holds records in the indoor 60-meter hurdles and long jump. In outdoor, he has records in the 100-meter dash, is tied for the 200-meter dash, the 110-meter hurdles, long jump and the 4x100-meter relay.
