All-American Sprinter Body Joins Huskies
June 18, 2020 | Track & Field
SEATTLE – Washington picked up a big addition to its men's sprints squad today as All-American quarter-miler and hurdler Julian Body will become a Husky for his final year of outdoor eligibility in 2021. Body has been a part of four NCAA Championship qualifying relay squads and he was coming off the best indoor season of his career in 2020 before the outdoor season was canceled.
A native of Portland, Ore. and a Jesuit High School product, Body completed his Stanford degree this spring, majoring in Product Design.
A versatile sprinter, this past indoor season Body posted both the No. 2 time in Stanford history in the 60-meter hurdles (7.92 seconds) as well as the No. 8 all-time indoor 400-meters time of 47.18, which was good for third-place at the 2020 MPSF Championships in the Dempsey. Body was also set to compete at the 2020 NCAA Indoor Championships on Stanford's distance medley relay, where he would have run the 400-meter leg.
Body has a pair of All-America honors from the DMR, in 2020 and 2018. He also earned First Team All-America honors in 2018 on the 4x400-meter relay, helping the Cardinal reach the NCAA Outdoor Championships final for the first time in school history where it finished eighth. That group set the school record of 3:04.82. That same season, Body also anchored the 4x100-meter relay which made the NCAA Outdoor semifinals, finishing 19th, for All-America honorable mention.
Another strong event for Body is the 400-meter hurdles, where he scored a seventh-place Pac-12 Championship finish in 2018 and has a PR of 51.62 seconds.
