Kenny Selmon
Kenny Selmon, originally from Atlanta, GA, made his mark as a standout track athlete at The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. During his career, he qualified for five NCAA Championships, earning five All-America accolades and 10 All-ACC honors. Kenny currently holds the UNC school record for the 400-meter hurdles and also occupies six spots in the UNC top-five all-time record books. While competing in the NCAA, Kenny won over 25 gold medals.
Upon graduating, in recognition of his exceptional athletic achievement, athletic leadership, community contributions, sportsmanship, work on the student-athlete advisory council and beyond - he was awarded the Patterson Medal which is the most prestigious athletic award given to an athlete at UNC.
After college he became a professional track and field athlete representing the clothing brand, Spyder. In 2018, he won the USA National Championship for the 400-meter hurdles. Later that summer, he also won gold in London at the 2018 Athletics World Cup. His professional career solidified in 2021, when he made the USA Olympic Team that competed in Tokyo. Kenny ran the 400 hurdles and placed 9th overall!
After the Olympics, Kenny retired from track and field and now works in fitness in New York City. He is a Barry's Instructor, a Private Trainer, and a Head High School Track and Field coach. He is always looking to expand his portfolio and cannot wait for camp!

Kenny made such a mark on my son. He was incredibly inspired by his sharp training and leadership. Despite not having a love for track and field, Kenny inspired my son to progress and development physically as well as increase his PMA (positive mental attitude) over the winter months towards track and life in high school.

“Kenny Selmon is the definition of what coaching with care, expertise, and passion truly means. He represents the effectiveness needed for youth development through connecting with student-athletes, creating a learning environment that promotes growth, and landing on a balance of competition and enjoyment. As a lifelong learner, Coach Kenny respects what has worked with the tradition of sports, while committing himself to finding new solutions for new challenges. I have learned so much from him, and look forward to his continued success as a coach, leader, and change maker.”

I know Kenny both as my Barry’s instructor and as my kids’ trainer. Kenny creates an environment that is challenging, motivating, and fun! I have watched my son become faster, stronger, and more confident on the basketball court thanks to his work with Kenny! We cannot wait for camp!
