He attendedNeedville High School inTexas and in 1981 set a state high school record for the400-meter dash, with a time of 45.64 seconds.[2][3] He was highly successful at school level, winning four straight titles in the440-yard dash/400-meter dash from 1978 to 1981 at the UIL Texas State Track and Field Championships (the second man to do so after Kenneth Thomas of Wortham).[4][5] He was the number one ranked high school athlete in the discipline in 1981 according toTrack and Field News.[6]

Ketchum placed fifth nationally in the 400 m at the 1981USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and also fourth at theAAA Championships in the United Kingdom. His season's best of 45.69 seconds ranked him 26th globally.[7] He was runner-up at theUSA Junior Track and Field Championships in the100-meter dash, taking second toDarren Walker.[8] During this period he was coached by Jack Petty.[9]

He made his first appearances at international level in 1981. At the1981 IAAF World Cup, his performance in the4×100-meter relay alongsideMel Lattany,Stanley Floyd andSteve Williams brought the United States team the bronze medal.[10] A gold medal in that event also came at that year'sUniversiade, as the American team of Lattany, Ketchum,Jason Grimes andCalvin Smith topped the podium.[11]

After graduating from high school, he began to attend theUniversity of Houston and was coached byTom Tellez as part of the institution's high calibreHouston Cougars track team (which had recently featuredCarl Lewis).[12] In his first year, he won the 440-yard dash title at theNCAA Men's Indoor Track and Field Championships, recording a time of 47.47 seconds to take his first collegiate title.[13] Outdoors, he helped the team's 4 × 100 m relay quartet (including Carlton Young, Mark McNeil, and Stanley Floyd) to a world under-23 best time for the event in 38.53 seconds.[14] Ketchum claimed the relay title with the Cougars at the 1982NCAA Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championships in an Americancollegiate record of 39:12 seconds.[15][16] His best individual run of 45.72 seconds that year ranked him in the top 40 globally.[17]

He only competed at the start of the 1983, his best of 45.77 seconds coming at theMt. SAC Relays, where he was runner-up.[18] At this point he started to focus on playingAmerican football instead. Ketchum played for theHouston Cougars football team from 1983 to 1985 as awide receiver andkickoff returner.[19] He played three games professionally for theHamilton Tiger-Cats, briefly staying at theCanadian football team in the 1987 season.[20] Towards the end of his career, he was part of theDetroit Lions team in the late 1980s, but was released in 1989.[21]
