Travis Padgett (born December 13, 1986) is a track and field sprint athlete who competes internationally for the United States.[1] He was an All-American and national champion sprinter at Clemson University.
He broke the NCAA collegiate record at the 2008 US Olympic Trials qualifiers; recording a time of 9.89 seconds. This brought him into the top twenty fastest athletes in the 100 meters event, and the top ten American athletes.[2] In the final of the Olympic Trials, Padgett recorded a wind assisted time of 9.85 s but finished in fourth position. This meant he did not qualify for the Olympic event.[3] Padgett represented the United States at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. He competed at the 4 × 100 metres relay together with Rodney Martin, Darvis Patton and Tyson Gay. In their qualification heat they did not finish due to a mistake in the baton exchange and they were eliminated.[1]
At the beginning of the 2009 athletics season, he decided to turn professional, leaving the collegiate system.[4]
