Tyson Gay is one of the fastest men in America. Seven years ago, he was a lightly-recruited high school sprinter from Lexington, Ky. Since then, he’s traveled the road to community college, the University of Arkansas, and the professional ranks—all while upgrading his name from unknown to world champion. Tyson was in awe when he found he was running the same times as his heroes, Michael Johnson, Frankie Fredericks and Maurice Greene. In a sport dominated by outspoken athletes, Tyson is humble and reserved, a trait fostered by his mother, Daisy Lowe.
