He posted a new personal best in 2007 with his runner-up finish at Doha in 13.14 seconds. 2006 highlights included his win in 13.25 seconds at the Berlin ISTAF Golden League meet in September when he defeated many of the world’s biggest names in the 110m hurdles including 1996 Olympic gold medalist and multi world champion Allen Johnson, 2006 NCAA Outdoor champion Aires Merritt, Cuban record holder Dayrion Robles, 2006 European champion Stanislav Olijars and 2006 Commonwealth Games champion Maurice Wignall. The first two-time NCAA All-American in any sport from Howard University, Oliver, who owns both the Howard school and MEAC indoor and Outdoor hurdles records, was the school’s first track and field athlete to earn that distinction since Calvin Branch in 1982. Also a football player at Howard, Oliver graduated with a BBA in marketing in the fall of 2004.
