BIOGRAPHY Breaux Greer (real name: Edward Breaux Greer), born October 19, 1976 in Houston, Texas, USA, is an American javelin thrower. He is an eight time American Champion (’00, ’01, ’02, ’03, ’04, ’05, ’06, ‘07).
Greer originally wanted to pursue a career in baseball and was even drafted to be a professional baseball pitcher out of high school, but opted to compete in track instead. Greer showed that he is one of the world’s finest javelin throwers in 2007 with his bronze medal performance at the World Outdoor Championships in Osaka, Japan, and in breaking the American record on two occasions. The second time gave him his eighth USA Outdoor championship as he inches closer to the 300-foot mark at 91.29m/299-6, and it was the farthest throw in the world in 2007, which marked the first time an American ended a season with the world leading mark in the javelin.
His other accomplishments include 4th at 2001 World Outdoor Championships; 12th at 2000 & 2004 Olympics; 3rd at 1996 Olympic Trials; 2nd at 2001 Goodwill Games; 2003 Pan Am Games bronze medalist; 2004 World Athletics Final champion, and an American record holder for the javelin with a throw of 91.29 meters, achieved on 21 June 2007 during the U.S. Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Indianapolis. Aside from javelin, Greer also appeared on the second season of NBC's series "American Gladiators" as Hurricane. View GALLERY:
