The FASTEST hurdler of all time. 🥹✅

Back in 2021, at 15 years old, I told people I’d be the fastest hurdler in the world. I was running 14.2 and losing races, and EVERYBODY laughed. I can count on one hand, the amount of people who actually believed in me.

But I stayed hungry.

Never let someone tell you what you can’t do. This one is for everyone who’s been doubted, overlooked, or counted out.

12.75 WR — Ja’Kobe Tharp.

Mark my words, I’m not done. I’m just getting started.
