Kerley comes from a humble background, raised by his aunt along with 12 other children
Fellow American sprinter Marvin Bracy can attest to that, recounting how they faced off in cornhole earlier this week. Played three times. Bracy claims he won two.Kerley on a running track made of butyl rubber and polyurethane, different story. You’re not beating him.
He is famously allergic to media interviews, only granting them when required and even then providing one- or two-word answers. After ripping off a 9.79 Friday night — the fastest ever in a preliminary round in World Championships history — he zoomed through the interview area without stopping, like the meet’s nightly flyover of military jets.
Kerley got his first tattoo at age 12, a Bible scripture. He has more than 10 now, including one that says, “Bless” — a tribute, he says, to “the way my life has turned out.” “The difference for me was my mindset. From an early age, I said I can’t do that, can’t end up like them. I didn’t want my future to stay in one place. I wanted to get an education and travel all over the world and just keep on going. Track and field was the sport that allowed me to do that.”
