Make a man give up football and see how fast he progresses on the track. That's what happened to Marcus Krah.
In 2015, Krah was runner-up at the North Carolina state meet. In 2016, the Tarheels commit won the state title, but that was just the beginning as he swept New Balance Nationals Outdoor, USATF Junior Nationals and the IAAF World U20 Championships. The undefeated year also culminated with a new PB of 13.25, a mark that would have placed fifth at the Olympic Trials.
