The former Tennessee Volunteer NCAA Champion began his 2012 campaign winning both World Indoors Title and U.S, National Titles in the 60-meter Hurdles. Merritt will look to transition his indoor success to the outdoors over the 110-meter distance in hopes of making his first Olympic Team after a fourth place finish by .02 seconds at the 2008 U.S. Trials.
