Olympic champion Hansle Parchment will open his season next week in the 110 meter hurdles at the Drake Relays. Parchment won gold for Jamaica in 2021 in Tokyo and has been a regular at Drake.

Parchment battled injury for much of 2022 and hopes Drake will provide a good start to the new season.

Parchment spent the offseason working with his coach on the technical aspects of his race.

Parchment says he needs better starts to return to contention at the world level.

The Drake Relays are April 25th through the 29th.
