Freeman 11.27 Meet Record at New Balance Nationals

 

Lake Wales junior Octavious Freeman continued her barrage on the record books, out to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is the fastest high school girl in the nation--and possibly ever.  She cruised to a 11.27 to win the finals--the exact same time she ran in the prelims earlier in the day--with plenty of padding to second.  Last weekend, Freeman beat professional athletes in training in 11.16.  The week before she ran a wind-aided 11.11 in New Mexico.  Other Florida action included Shelby Hayes 10:27.43 2 Mile, Eddie Lovett won the 110H of 13.61 with Roy Smith close behind in 13.84 for third (13.70 in prelims). Lindsey Enders vaulted 11-10 for a new PB.
