Stanley Grant Holloway was born November 19, 1997, in Chesapeake, Virginia, to mother Latasha and father Stan.

Holloway was coached with his older brother Trey by their father Stan in track and field until high school as members of the Track 757 club.

Holloway continued to compete in track and field with his brother at Grassfield High School for the Grizzlies, as well as competing on the football team as a wide receiver.

He chose to compete for the University of Florida in the hurdles rather than the University of Georgia in football.

Holloway showed incredible range by competing in the long jump and the 4x400m relay, in addition to his hurdles specialty.

He went undefeated in the 60m high hurdles, and won the NCAA Indoor Title in a collegiate-leading 7.58 seconds.

Holloway competed in the US Championships in the hopes of qualifying for the World Championships in London, but finished 4th and missed out by .05 seconds.

He also ran the 3rd leg on their 4x100m team throughout the season.

He finished 9th in the long jump, ran the 2nd leg on the 4x100m team that finished 3rd, and anchored Florida to 4th place in the 4x400m.

He also finished 11th in the long jump and ran the second leg on Florida's 4x400m relay team that finished 2nd.

Outdoors, he won the 110m hurdles, finished 2nd in the long jump and anchored Florida's 4x400m relay team to 4th place.

In the six NCAA Championships Holloway competed in between 2017 and 2018, Florida won three and finished second in the other three.

As of February 2024, he hadn't lost an indoor sprint hurdles race since March 2014, when he was 16 years old.

Holloway was NCAA champion in both the 60 m hurdles and the 110 m hurdles from 2017 to 2019, champion in both the 60 m dash and 60 m hurdles in 2019, and had multiple podium finishes in the long jump, 4 × 100 m relay, and 4 × 400 m relay in the same years.

His performances were critical in helping the Florida Gators win the team titles at the 2017 NCAA Division I Championships, the 2018 NCAA Division I Indoor Championships, and the 2019 NCAA Division I Indoor Championships.

Holloway set the 60 m hurdles world record on February 24, 2021, at the conclusion of the World Athletics Indoor Tour in Madrid, beating Colin Jackson's 27-year old world record of 7.30 s by one hundredth of a second.

Holloway had previously matched his American record of 7.32 s in the heats, already the #2 all-time performance going into the meet, before winning the final in 7.29 s. His victory in the final also made him the overall winner of the 2021 World Indoor Tour in the 60 m hurdles.

He made his outdoor debut at the Miramar Invitational in Miramar, Florida on April 10, winning the 110 m hurdles final in a windy (+2.2 m/s) 13.04 s, his fastest opening performance in the event.

Holloway's 2018 season was a repeat of 2017.

He continued his unbeaten streak in the 60m high hurdles, defending his NCAA title in a collegiate record-breaking and world leading 7.42 seconds.

Prior to setting the NCAA and American record in the 60 m hurdles, in February 2018 he set the NCAA record with a 7.42 s clocking at the Clemson Tiger Paw Invitational, beating and taking the record away from Olympic champion in the 110 m hurdles Omar McLeod.

Later that year he clocked 13.15 s in the 110 m hurdles at the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Championships, winning the meet in the second fastest time in NCAA history.

This became the third fastest time a year later at the same meet when Holloway ran 13.07 s, just 0.07 s slower than Renaldo Nehemiah's NCAA record.

Holloway was one of three men's finalists in 2018 for The Bowerman—an annual American collegiate track and field award—and was the fan favorite by vote.

2019 was Holloway's breakthrough year.
