This past weekend, Trey Cunningham finished fourth in the 110mH at the US Track and Field Championships, thus missing Team USA qualification for the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo. 

That said, he could have one more shot at qualification, and that path runs through the Wanda Diamond League. He is currently slated to compete at the Lausanne Diamond League Meeting and he could lock up his spot a the 2025 Wanda Diamond League Final in Zurich.

US Audiences can watch those meetings LIVE on FloTrack.

• Trey Cunningham and Cordell Tinch Slated To Compete In 110mH In Lausanne

A Stellar 2025 Season Has One Hiccup

Cunningham's 2025 campaign has been strong, but he stumbled when it mattered most. 

He has collected wins at some of the season's biggest meetings. He won the 110mH at the Miami Grand Slam, the Paris Diamond League meeting, and the Monaco Diamond League meeting. He has a season best of 13.00 (+1.4) from Miami. 

But, at the 2025 USATF Championship - Cunningham finished fourth. Team USA sends the top three in each event (assuming they've hit the World Standard), and Grant Holloway is also qualified by virtue of the World Championship Bye, which goes to the winners of the 2023 World Championship.

As it stands, the Team USA roster is Grant Holloway (Bye), Ja'Kobe Tharp (US Champion), Cordell Tinch (US Silver), and Dylan Beard (US Bronze). 

So - for Cunningham to qualify, he would need one of those runners ahead of him to scratch. If Holloway scratches, Cunningham would need to earn a bid through the Diamond League.

That Avenue Runs Through The Wanda Diamond League

To qualify for the 2025 World Championship, Cunningham would need to win the Wanda Diamond League final in Zurich. 

Winners of the 2025 Diamond League Championship, automatically earn a wild card for the World Championship meet, however national teams can only use a wild card once per event. Since Team USA is already using the Championship Wild Card for Grant Holloway, Trey's odds are bleak.

With his two wins in Paris and Monaco, Cunningham has set himself up nicely for the Diamond League final. As things currently stand - he is fourth in the Diamond League standings. One more strong Diamond League performance would guarantee his lane in the final. 

Lausanne is the final Diamond League Meeting that includes the 110mH and Trey Cunningham is confirmed for that race. If he can perform well in Lausanne, and then win the Diamond League Final in Zurich, Cunningham could keep himself in the running for a lane in the 110mH at the 2025 World Championship.

Not So Humble Beginnings 

Trey Cunningham graduated from Winfield City High School in Alabama in 2017. 

At Winfield, he was a standout. He collected Alabama State Outdoor Titles in the 110m Hurdles in his freshman, sophomore, junior and senior seasons. He also added two 300mH titles and the state long jump title in 2016. Those tallies don't include the numerous state titles he earned on the indoor circuit or the 60mH National Record he posted in 2017. 

Still today, Cunningham is widely considered one of the best track and field athletes to ever compete in Alabama. 

He then went on to compete at Florida State University - and his prowess quickly translated. 

As a freshman, he won the ACC 60mH title and finished sixth at the 2018 NCAA Indoor Championships. On the outdoor straight, he finished fourth in the 110mH at NCAA's. In the following years, he would earn six more ACC Titles and two NCAA Titles. He went pro following the 2022 season.

Following his successful collegiate season in 2022, Cunningham earned silver at the 2022 World Championships behind Grant Holloway.
