LONDON, England — Donning a USA singlet, recent graduate Kenny Selmon captured the world title in the men's 400-meter hurdles at the 2018 Athletics World Cup in London on Sunday. A photo finish clocked Selmon at 48.97, besting Poland's Patryk Dobek by a mere 0.05 seconds and the top-ranked Annsert Whyte of Jamaica by three spots.
"I am the strongest I have been so I knew I could finish strongly," Selmon said. "It's a huge confidence boost because you have got world and national champions here so to come out here and get the win for the USA is big for me.
