Bio
THIS YEAR: Sophomore Michael Norman begins his second season as a sprinter at USC. He set the USC freshman record and ranks third on the Trojans' all-time 400m list.
2017: Norman was slowed by a hamstring issue and didn't open up his outdoor campaign until the USC-UCLA Dual Meet on April 30. He made his outdoor collegiate debut special by winning the 400m race with a then USC freshman record time of 45.22, but he was just getting started and would break that record four more times. He won the Pac-12 400m title with a then-PR of 45.15, edging out Marcus Chambers of Oregon, the two-time defending champion in the event. He also anchored USC's title-winning 4x400m relay which posted a time of 3:07.67. He cruised out of the NCAA West Prelims with the fifth-fastest qualifying time of 45.38. He also anchored USC's 4x400m relay which ran 3:04.65, USC's fastest time since 2012, to advance to the NCAA Championships. He had a then-personal best in the 400m of 44.97 in the NCAA semifinals and finished fourth in the final with a new best of 44.88 to earn All-America honors. He anchored USC's 4x400m relay which finished 13th with a time of 3:05.80. Norman reached the USA T&F Championship finals by taking third in the semifinals on June 23 with a USC freshman record of 44.60, which ranks third on USC's all-time list. He finished seventh in the finals with a time of 44.80 on June 24. He also ran in two indoor 200m races, winning his collegiate indoor debut with a time of 20.76 at the New Mexico Classic on Feb. 3 and taking fourth with a USC freshman record and fourth-fastest time ever by a Trojan of 20.75 at the Tyson Invitational on Feb. 11.
