Adams joins

In 2011, Adams was the SEC Indoor Track and Field Champion in the 60-meter dash. A year later, Adams set the Auburn school record in the 100-meter dash at 9.96 seconds—a record he still holds. With his time at the 2012 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Adams was the 81
