University of Pennsylvania Athletics

Personal Bests

Grafton has achieved tremendous amounts of success on and off the track ever since he came to Penn in the fall of 2004. He has been a multiple Heptagonal champion, represented his country's national track and field team, and been a member of Penn's elite student body. When healthy, he has been unbeatable in the league in the 100 and 200. He is the current school record holder in the 200, both indoors and outdoors. In 2007, he will be chasing the 100 record and leading a young but extremely talented quartet toward the school record in the 4x100 relay. He has narrowly missed the NCAA Championships in multiple events, so he is determined to be a scorer when the team again heads to Sacramento in June. Look for Grafton to make his senior season a memorable one for himself, and historic in terms of the significance it could have on the program. Grafton will graduate in May with a degree in Policy, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) from the College of Arts and Sciences.
