Misener-Daley is attending UCLA in the fall on a full scholarship. The Hamilton, Ont. native chose UCLA because he felt like it was the perfect place to balance his academic and athletic priorities. He’s had a very successful 2019, winning his second OFSAA triple crown (winning the 100m, 200m and 400m) and then capping it all off with this Pan Am silver medal.
The 400m runner will be running the 200m at the upcoming national track and field championships. He’s seeded second in the race behind Jeremiah Lauzon of Red Deer, Alta.
