At twenty-five years old Usain is among elite of young people who have achieved a doctorate degree. Take that alone it would not seem like such a great achievement. However we are talking about the fastest man on earth.
Thus this award is just another accolade in the many achievements that Usain has received in his short life. Thus he is truly on his way to becoming a legend; something he has publicly stated he wanted to become.
On Friday, November 4, 2011, the University of the West Indies, Mona officially bestowed the title of doctorate onto him for his achievements in athletics and more importantly because he is a member of the Racers Track Club, which trains on the University campus.
