There's fast and then there is THIS. @Bri_Rollin with the second-fastest 100mH (12.34) time ever at trials!
It wouldn't be the U.S. Olympic Trials without some drama, right? Day 8 closed with the women's 100m hurdle final, aka the 'hardest team to make.'
Why is this team so difficult to make? Because in 2015, the U.S. owned 6 of the top 10 marks in the world. No other country has this much depth.
It all started in the semi-finals when 2008 Olympic champion and 2012 silver medalist Dawn Harper-Nelson failed to advance to the final. Later, she told FloTrack that she suffered a hip injury.
The final pinned American record-holder Keni Harrison against former American record-holder Bri Rollins, 2x world indoor champion Nia Ali and current world #3 and #4 Jasmin Stowers and Sharika Nelvis.
All eyes focused on K. Harrison, but it was her former Clemson teammate and former national record-holder Rollins who stole the show with her 12.34 (+1.2) finish.
Kristi Castlin made her first global team by finishing second in 12.50, and Ali third in 12.55.
