Instagram Bio goes a lil' something like: 

"Keeping my soul from the devil. Olympic & Field Sprinter. Black/Samoan (Mauala) Denver, CO > Phoenix, AZ

Born and raised in Denver, CO, Jeremy attended George Washington H.S. prior to the University of Arkansas, having then transferred to University of Colorado, where he earned a degree in Economics and Sociology with a minor in Neurophysiology and accepted into the CU School of Law. While competing collegiately, Jeremy was a four-time All-American (three at CU, one at UA) and set Colorado records in the indoor and outdoor 200 meters. Jeremy qualified for both the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games.

The athlete is the son of Peggy Mauala, of Malie and Cyrus Dodson, of the United States. “I represented the United States for so many years but during all that time it just didn’t feel right,” he said. “I was just another person, another sprinter.” - Samoa Observer

He is currently representing Samoa at the IAAF World Championship with plans to go to next year's Rio Olympics. He has made it through to the Semi-finals. And yes he went up against Usain Bolt.

He's even a fan of the Manu Samoa team and showed some love during the test match of the year! 

We wish you all the best Jeremy!
