What happened to Reggie TORIAN ?...

[79.]

He seemed to be the top hudler of the future in
the late nineties (PB:13"02).
But he suddenly disappeared from the track
arenas...
Does anyone know why?

He played football for the University of Wisconsin. He could not take hits, was injured constantly. He gave up football after one frustrating season, but I guess, never fully recovered. He was the fastest, most graceful guy over the hurdles. What a loss!

Thanks, Pego.
I remember of a magnificient athlete who beat
most of the top hurdlers of his time.

Repeated hamstring and related injuries.

Was it Reggie who did that weird dip against Colin Jackson indoors? Throwing one arm forward to get his shoulder farther forward, thus getting torso a few inches ahead. I remember his coach having a fit when they gave it to Colin.
