Aries Merritt feels the healthiest he has in years, hasn't started speed work yet
Jun 25, 2017
Aries Merritt, the world record holder for 110m hurdles, secures a spot at the world championships with a runner-up finish in 13.31 behind Aleec Harris. The 31-year-old earned bronze at the 2015 worlds while suffering from a rare genetic disorder that required him a kidney transplant a week after returning to the United States. He missed the Olympic team last year by one spot, but today said he is the healthiest he's been in years and his coach is gradually working him into shape for London.
