Andre De Grasse stays in school

Canadian Andre De Grasse, who tied for bronze in the 100m at the World Championships last week, will return to compete for USC as a senior in 2015-16, putting off turning professional, according to CBC.

“After careful consideration with talking with my coaches and family, I have decided that the best thing right now is for me to finish school first,” De Grasse said, according to the report. “I would like to finish one chapter in my life before opening another. At the end of the day I am still very new to this sport, and I still have a lot to learn to be ready for the next level.
