He runs 100m and 200m events.
He broke the NCAA collegiate record at the 2008 US Olympic Trials qualifiers; recording a time of 9.89 seconds. This brought him into the top twenty fastest athletes in the 100 meters event, and the top ten American athletes. In the final of the Olympic Trials, Padgeltt recorded a wind assisted time of 9.85s but finished in fourth position. This meant he did not qualify for the Olympic event.[3] Padgett represented the United States at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. He competed at the 4x100m relay together with Rodney Martin, Darvis Patton and Tyson Gay. In their qualification heat they did not finish due to a mistake in the baton exchange and they were eliminated.
