David Oliver Biography

Oliver’s astounding breakthrough 2010 campaign got off to a strong start with his runner-up finish at the USA Indoor Championships in Albuquerque prior to capturing the bronze medal at the World Indoor Championships in Doha in a personal best time of 7.44 seconds. Oliver won the 2010 USA Outdoor title with his blistering time of 12.93 seconds and followed that up by equaling the then American record of 12.90 at the Nike Prefontaine Classic before setting the American record of 12.89 seconds with his win in Paris on July 16. At the end of 2010 Oliver been unbeaten in 15 finals races and had posted the top five times in the world and eight of the nine fastest times globally in becoming hands down the best high hurdler on the planet. Oliver’s 2009 season was headlined by his win in Doha in 13.09 seconds, which was the fastest of the year by an American, and the third-fastest time in the world that year. A strained left calf muscle kept him from competing at the 2009 USA Outdoor Championships. Once an up-and-comer, Oliver is now a gold-medal threat in any competition. Oliver capped off a hugely successful 2008 campaign by winning the bronze medal in the 110m hurdles at the Olympic Games in Beijing. Oliver completed a sweep of the U.S. indoor and outdoor titles in the men's hurdles that year with his victory at the Olympic Trials in Eugene. Though slow out of the blocks in the final, Oliver rallied past two-time Olympic silver medalist, defending Olympic Trials champion and 2007 World Outdoor silver medalist Terrence Trammell to win in 12.95 (+2.5). Oliver also ran an outstanding semifinal race at the trials, crossing the line .01 under the American record, in 12.89, but aided by an illegal 3.2mps wind. It was the fourth-fastest time ever run under any conditions. Oliver ended the 2007 campaign with his first-ever world ranking from Track & Field News (#9). Oliver enjoyed a strong season in 2006, highlighted with his win in 13.25 seconds at the Berlin ISTAF Golden League meet in September when he defeated many of the world’s biggest names in the 110m hurdles including 1996 Olympic gold medalist and multi world champion Allen Johnson, 2006 NCAA Outdoor champion Aires Merritt, Cuban record holder Dayron Robles, 2006 European champion Stanislav Olijars and 2006 Commonwealth Games champion Maurice Wignall. The first two-time NCAA All-American in any sport from Howard University, Oliver, who owns both the Howard school and MEAC indoor and Outdoor hurdles records, was the school’s first track and field athlete to earn that distinction since Calvin Branch in 1982. Also a football player at Howard, Oliver graduated with a BBA in marketing in the fall of 2004.

In addition to track & field, David dedicates his time to helping underprivileged kids. He recently formed SUB13, an organization focused on helping inner city children reach their potential both academically and athletically. He also participates in the USA Track And Field Win with Integrity program. Win with Integrity is focused on educating youth, parents, educators, and coaches about the positive results that come from leading a physically active, drug-free lifestyle while living with integrity.
