On April 28, 2012, Bailey broke the U.S. High School Record in the 400 metres, previously held by Calvin Harrison of North Salinas High School, at the Texas Class 5A Region I meet in Lubbock, Texas.[1] Harrison had held the record since 1993, a year before Bailey was born.
He was an All-USA high school track and field team selection by USA Today in 2011 and 2012.[2][3]
Bailey was part of the US medley relay team that established a new World Youth Best at the 2011 World Youth Championships in Athletics. He also competed in the 200 metres, but finished sixth. He wears a duck tail at the back of his head as a signature style.
