Joshua Caleb, a sprinter at the University of Alaska Anchorage, is on his way to shattering the Seawolf record books and helping his family back home in Nigeria.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - After working a shift at the Avis Alaska Sports Complex on the University of Alaska Anchorage campus, Joshua Caleb bikes to a nearby track to warm up and run some sprints.

Caleb was born and raised in a small village called Okrika in southern Nigeria, landing at UAA through a recruiting agency called Scholarbook, giving opportunities for international athletes to compete at the collegiate level in the United States. In his introductory race, he ran 6.73 seconds in the 60 meters, 0.01 seconds off the 10-year conference record.

One week later, Caleb broke that record when he ran a 6.70 at the GNAC Indoor Championships. At the very same meet, he broke the conference record in the 200-meter with a time of 21.18 seconds.Oh, and he did all of that at just 17 years old.
