Athletic career

Kevin Kranz first played soccer and was discovered at the age of 15 because of his sprinting ability for athletics.

In 2013 he finished 6th at the German U20 championships in Rostock with the 4 x 100 meter relay .

In 2015, Kranz was third in the Hessian U18 best list with 10.99 s over 100 meters at the end of the year. At the German Youth Championships in Jena , he was U20 runner-up in the 4 x 100 meter relay. Injury problems then threw him back. David Corell recognized the potential of Kranz and prevented an early retirement through appropriate training.

In 2018 he was runner-up over 60 meters in the indoor season at the German Indoor University Championships in Frankfurt-Kalbach and took 5th place at the German Indoor Championships in Dortmund with a personal best of 6.71 s. At the German U23 Junior Championships in Heilbronn , he won double gold. With 10.24 s over 100 meters, he ran the norm for the European Championships in Berlin and with 20.89 s on the 200-meter course, he stayed under 21 seconds for the first time. In Nuremberg , Kranz was German champion over 100 meters and thus secured himself the nomination for the European championships, where he was eliminated with 10.41 seconds over this distance in the preliminary round.

At the European Indoor Championships 2019 , Kranz reached eighth place over 60 meters.
