Trevor Bassitt (born February 26, 1998) is an American track and field athlete.[1]

Collegiate career

[edit]

Trevor competed at Ashland University, an NCAA Division II school. He was coached by Jud Logan.[2] Prior to Ashland, he attended, Bluffton High School.[3] While at Ashland, Bassit earned 10 National Championships and 21 All-American awards in various events. He would also help lead the Ashland Eagles to three consecutive NCAA National Championships. He finished his Division II career with 2 NCAA DII records (Indoor 200m-20.40, Indoor 400m-45.27) and with 3 USTFCCA National Athlete Of The Year awards.[citation needed]

Professional career

[edit]

Currently[when?] an unsponsored athlete, and without a permanent coach following the death of Jud Logan in the winter of 2022,[4] Bassitt won the gold medal in the men's 400 metres event at the 2022 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships held in Spokane, Washington.[5]

He finished 2nd at the 2022 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the 400m hurdles with a time of 47.47 s, to qualify for the 2022 World Athletics Championships.[citation needed]

He won the bronze medal in the men's 400 metres hurdles event at the 2022 World Athletics Championships held in Eugene, Oregon, United States. Following this individual medal, Trevor was selected as a member of the team USA 4x400m relay to compete in the qualifying heats. As the anchor leg of the relay, the team won their heat in 2:58.96 to qualify for the finals.[6] While not a member of the team competing in the finals, he also earned a gold medal by virtue of team USA winning the 4x400m event.[7] He won the silver medal in the men's 400 metres event at the 2022 World Athletics Indoor Championships held in Belgrade, Serbia.[8]

In November 2022 Bassitt moved to Florida to train under coach Mike Holloway.[citation needed] He finished 3rd in the 400 meter hurdles at the 2023 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships to secure his spot on his 3rd consecutive National Team. He would go on to run a personal best of 47.38 during the semi-final round of the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary. He ended up placing 6th in the final with a time of 48.22. To conclude the meet he ran the lead off leg for Team USA during the heats of the 4x400 meter relay that would go on to run 2:58.47. Similar to the 2022 championships he did not compete in the final but still earned a gold medal for his work in the heats.[citation needed]
