My name is Virjilio Griggs, born June 15, 1994.  I am a 400 metre sprinter for the country of Panama, and on occasion will run the 200 and 100 metre dash also.  I began running track when I was in high school, but never really took any seriously until my 2nd year in college while attending Cerritos College,  in Los Angeles, California.  Running track has taken me all over the world, including Central America, South America, the Atlantic Islands and even Europe.  I have had much success in the track world at a young age and only strive for more; in 2014 I ran at the South American Championships in Lima, Peru and took 3rd in the 200 metre dash with a time of 21.05 and won Gold in the 100 metre dash with a time of 10.02 (wind aided).  This past season in 2016 was my best season, running personal best in the 400 at 44.83 in Rio de Janiero, Brazil at the IberoAmerican Championships, and also running a personal best in the 200 at 20.62 in Austin, Texas.  With this new season coming up, I strive to not only go to the World Championships in London, but also see myself on the medal stand in the 400 or 200 meter dash, representing my country at the highest of levels, and preparing myself for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.  I dream of being an Olympic Champion, and that, I will be in the very near future.
