NCAA

He then went on to the University of Southern California where he won both the indoor and outdoor NCAA Championships in 2007.[3] Bryant also competed at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics in Osaka, Japan.[4] His NCAA history is that much more impressive after Bryant lost most of his sophomore season and needed to go through reconstructive surgery after a freak hammer throw accident when the implement bounced off the protective screen and back into his face.[5] While at USC, Bryant set the school record in the shot put with a throw of 20.56 meters.

Professional

Bryant finished in fourth place at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 2007[3] and 6th in 2009.[6]
