Fresh off his All-American 200m indoor performance, Rodney contested the 400m dash outdoors at the Florida Relays and the result was noteworthy. The Canadian-born Blackbird flew to a fourth-place finish in 45.96, registering the fifth-fastest time on the early-season NCAA Division I performance list. Rodney, who has yet to run the 200m dash outdoors this spring, owns the No. 1 spot on the IC4A regional leader board for the 400m with his time standing one-half second better than the second-place occupant.
