2024 Outlook: A former sprint specialist, Wallace switched to long jump last year and posted an eye-opening 7.95m leap in the long-jump at US Trials, an American record. That came on the heels of his bronze-medal finish at the 2023 Worlds. Not bad for a relative newcomer to the event. Silver could be within reach in Paris.
