TOKYO – Indiana State sprinter Noah Malone earned his second silver medal of the Tokyo Paralympics in rainy conditions on Wednesday evening in record-breaking fashion.
 
The sophomore, nearly four years younger than the next youngest finalist in Wednesday's T12 400-meter dash final, ran an American record of 47.93 to cross the finish line in second, falling only to Abdeslam Hili of Morocco who set a world record with a time of 47.59. During the preliminary round, Malone set a then-Paralympic record time of 48.50.
 
Malone's silver medal in the 400-meter dash marked his second medal of the Tokyo games after claiming silver in the men's T12 100-meter dash on Sunday morning with a time of 10.66. He set a new American record of 10.55 in the preliminary round of the event as well.
 
One more chance for a medal awaits Malone in Tokyo, as he will compete as a member of the universal 4X100-meter relay squad tomorrow evening at 11:10 p.m. ET. The final for the event is set for Friday, Sept. 3 at 8:17 a.m. ET.
