Career

[edit | edit source]

Mitchell was a 2008 & 2009 junior college four-time outdoor all-American and state champion in the 100 and 200 m at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, California,[2][3] where he was coached by Olympian Philam Garcia.[4]

Mitchell had a successful collegiate career for Texas A&M University. At the 2010 NCAA Indoor Championships he won the 200 m and was part of Texas A&M's winning team in the 4 × 400 m relay.[5] His time in the 200 m was 20.38 s, the best indoor time in the world that year and a Texas A&M record.[6][7][8] At the outdoor championships that year he placed second to Rondel Sorrillo in the 200 m, helping Texas A&M to their second consecutive NCAA team title.[9]

In 2010, Mitchell represented the United States at the NACAC Under-23 Championships in Miramar, Florida, winning gold in both 200 m and the 4 × 100 m relay.[10][11][12] In the 200 m semi-finals he clocked a wind-legal personal best of 19.99 s, placing him seventh in the world that year.[11][13]

Mitchell turned professional in January 2011, forgoing his final year of collegiate eligibility to sign with Adidas and join the training group of two-time World Champion Tyson Gay.[14]

Mitchell won bronze at the 2013 IAAF World Championships behind Usain Bolt and Warren Weir in a time of 20.04 seconds.[15]
