Jones ran the fastest time in the world up to this point as he clocked in at 20.05 (0.2) at the Texas Relays. On top of it being his season opener, it was the first time Jones ran a 200m since May of 2021. His time proved to be a new Texas Relays meet record. The time also stands No. 2 in his native country of Bahamas and No. 5 in Tech history.

Season opener and first race since 2021 for Terrence Jones as he goes 20.05 (2.0)!!!
