When it comes to Olympic athletes, Dylan Beard is cold cut from a different cloth. Beard is a hurdler who will compete for a spot on the United States Olympic team heading to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. He also happens to work a full-time job at the deli counter at a Walmart. Beard emerged as a surprise winner while competing in the 60-meter hurdles at the Millrose Games in February.
His coach, Reuben McCoy, gushes when he talks about Beard. “His work ethic is very much unmatched. And his character speaks very highly of the man who he is,” he said. His manager at Walmart, David Davis, echoes the sentiment about what kind of person Beard is. “Dylan’s work ethic is next level. He provides excellent customer service all the time. He goes above and beyond, just like he does on the track,” he said.
