Taipei, Chinese Taipei- Stephen F. Austin track and field athlete Jarvis Anderson took home two golds at the 2024 World Deaf Athletics Championships.
The Taylor, Texas native won gold in the 110-meter hurdles and 4x400m relay. Along with his two gold medals, Anderson also won three silver medals in triple jump, the 4x100m relay, and the 400-meter hurdles. Anderson will be a sophomore next year and will compete for SFA's indoor and outdoor track and field programs. This past spring, as a freshman, Anderson finished third in the 400m Hurdles and the triple jump at the WAC Outdoor Championships, and followed that performance up with a 11th place finish at the NCAA West Preliminary Round of the NCAA Championships.
"Jarvis is such a hardworking and talented young man," said head track and field coach Rob Hansen. We're so proud of everything he has accomplished in his athletics career, thus far. To have an opportunity to represent the United States on a global platform is a tremendous accomplishment, and then to have been so successful in that endeavor; he's simply an impressive young man!"
