Darryl Anderson [personal]

Adductor and hamstring problems in 2019 meant he raced just three times that year. (dyestat.com, 02 Apr 2021)

Initially a cross-country runner, he then focused on the 400m in middle school and high school before switching to the 100m and 200m at university. "I knew I was fast from being in elementary school and I was always the fastest kid in the school. No one could beat me in anything." (worldathletics.org, 02 Jun 2018; alaskasnewssource.com, 24 Jun 2021)

He had to decide between basketball and athletics, and the opportunity to receive a university scholarship influenced his decision to pursue athletics. "In sixth grade I ran the 100m and I won one of my first races, so I carried on running track from there. I also started playing basketball in high school; it was my dream to be a basketball player. But I needed something to do outside of the basketball season, so I went out for the track team and I kind of grew and started running really fast. By the time I got to college, I had to decide between the two sports, and track was offering me a free education. Track and field has grown on me for sure."

"My mindset going into any track meet is that I am the best person no matter what. I can't go into a race thinking I am not the best guy in the race. I can't be thinking I am the second-best guy. If I go in there with that attitude, then I am the second-best guy. It is important to convince yourself you are the best in the field." (spikes.worldathletics.org, 08 Jun 2017)

In 2016 while representing Texas Christian University in the United States of America, he was named Big 12 Outstanding Performer of the Year, South Central Region Athlete of the Year, and Texas Christian University Pop Boone Athlete of the Year. (gofrogs.com, 01 Jan 2017)

While at Ballard High School in Louisville, KY, United States of America, he was named 2011 and 2012 Gatorade Track and Field Athlete of the Year for Kentucky. (eu.courier-journal.com, 20 Jun 2021)
