Career

A student at the Texas A&M University, Deadmon was the 2021 SEC Outdoor championship 400 m runner up running 44.50 behind Noah Williams, [2] as well as the 2021 NCAA 400 m runner-up at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon in Eugene running 44.44 to finish behind Randolph Ross. [3]

He qualified for the final of the US Olympic Trials men's 400 m race, [4] running 45.46 and 45.17 in his heats to qualify as 8th fastest man. [5] In the final he placed seventh with a 44.96 and qualified for the US men's relay pool for the 4 × 400 m. [6] At the Olympics he took part in the Mixed 4 × 400 metres relay and the Men's 4 × 400 metres relay, winning a bronze medal in the former and a gold medal in the latter. [7]

Competing at the 2023 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, in Eugene, Oregon, he won the final of the 400 m. [8] He was selected for the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, in August 2023. [9]

In April 2024, he was selected as part of the American team for the 2024 World Athletics Relays in Nassau, Bahamas. [10] He competed in the men's 4 × 400 metres relay at the 2024 Paris Olympics, winning gold at his second consecutive Olympic Games. [11] [12] He also competed in the mixed 4 × 400 m relay at the Games, winning the silver medal. [13]

He finished fourth in the 400 metres at the 2025 Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat, part of the 2025 Diamond League, in May 2025. [14] He qualified for the final of the 400 metres at the 2025 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, winning his semi-final with the fastest time of 44.34 seconds before placing sixth in the final in 45.39 seconds. [15] [16]

He was selected for the American team for the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Japan, as part of the relay pool. [17] He ran on the opening day as the American mixed 4 × 400 metres relay team reached the final, before also running as they won the gold medal. [18] He also won a silver medal in the men's 4 x 400 metres relay at the championships. [19] Initially, his American team had not qualified for the final but the handover between Deadmon and Demarius Smith was adjudged to have been impacted by a runner for Zambia, and they were put forward for a run-off with the same team in the same lanes against Kenya, who had also been impacted. He ran as they won the run-off on the morning of the final, with a time of 2:58.48, before a different quartet ran the final later that day, placing second behind Botswana. [20] [21]
