Its definitely possible to propel your body using muscle to move towards the ground quicker that gravity.
But is it possible to squat quicker than gravity.
assuming that squatting from your knees and Not you bending down from your back like a lever and that your not gripping the ground with your feet and pulling your self down.
If you dropped a basketball from the same height as your head,
would it be possible to squat below the basket ball before the basket ball hit the ground?

Your head would be able to beat the basketball, but your center of mass wouldn't. The reason for this is that your head is subject to the downward force due to the rest of your body, but your body is only subject to the force due to gravity and $boldsymbolF^textrmext = Mfracd^2dt^2boldsymbolR$ where $boldsymbolR$ is your center of mass (which follows from Newton's second law for a particle).

Your muscles are internal forces, so they cannot develop any net force on your body, which would be added to the gravitational force and increase the acceleration of your COM beyond g.
