Posted By: Hija Chang on June 25, 2013 Courtesy SWAC.org DES MOINES — Former SWAC standout and Jackson State Alum Michael Tinsley set the world’s fastest time of 2013 in the 400m hurdles final. It all took place from Des Moines, Iowa and Drake Stadium on Day 3 of the 2013 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championship. Tinsley finished first with a time of 47.96 seconds and was joined by Kerron Clement (48.06) and Bershawn Jackson's (48.09). Last summer during the London Olympic Games, Tinsley won a silver medal in the very same event. "The race was just so fast today. The gun went off, and all I remember is that we were there, coming down the homestretch," Tinsley said. "I feel like a champ. I feel like a million bucks." In 2006, Tinsley became the first JSU track athlete to win an NCAA Division I title at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
