to the final of the women's
100 meter hurdles and
need to tell you because we found out just moments ago
that the reigning world champion near our Lee has
decided to scratch from this race. I do I know you're not
surprised no. We've seen many world champions who have to buy
into Worlds.
Take that course of action. Here is Gabby Cunningham, she
made the Olympic team last year, made the Olympic final
and then made the world indoor team this year, getting Bronze
in the 60
meter hurdle. She'll be
Lane 9. She's the sixth fastest American
this year. She was seventh fastest
in the semi-finals
alongside her in line. A Talia Armstrong, the 21 year old from
Louisiana. Just finished her sophomore season at LSU, where
she was the NCAA champion in this event. She is fourth
fastest among Americans this year,
all eyes on Elijah Johnson. She has been fantastic at this.
Make I do not think the three people are beating her, but she
has to look more like she looked in the heat when she ran
to a for as opposed to the semi-finals when
She ran 12-6, here's the world record. Holder
in Lane 5 12.20, is that world record set six years ago? She
was fastest in qualifying
in the semi-final round
and so it could run in the semi finals by 21 year old. Tia
Jones, she's in line for the world under 20 Champion for
years ago. Second place behind a laser Johnson. At the New
York City Grand. Prix on June 12th
Taniya Marshall. You'll see start in Lane three.
She Coached by Lawrence. Cookie Johnson. Who guided
Brian? A Rollins to the Olympic title in 2016 and this is
Paula salmon.
Personal best 1263 graduate student at North Carolina A & T.
What a great program they have there.
So, again, world champion, Leah Ali has taken full advantage of
her, having a, an automatic ticket through to next. Month's
worlds, here
in Eugene, being the reigning Champion, where she'll defend.
And that title,
this is big for, Kenny Harrison to grab a
national championship. What about Elijah Johnson? Will
the world record holder? Be challenged o Sheikh? No
question, she'll be challenged. This is such a competitive
event in the United States. Five of the top ten times in
the world are held by Americans.
This is one of those
races where you better keep your eyes sharp to look
at who is leaning for positions on the line because I expect it
to be that close.
And let's not forget Gabby Cunningham. The
way outside dangerous out there to in nine because she's knows
how to make teams. She's made the last two,
there's Gabby,
let's take two, let's try again for the women's 100 meter
hurdles final
Cleanly away. This time had a really good start by to near
Marshall Here Comes Kenny Harrison
and Alicia Johnson now unless you're Johnson, Kenny
has good
fastest time in the world for the world record holder Alicia
Johnson. As I expected, put herself on the team, in
a personal best 12:35 and booster Dahlia Armstrong
That was so close
and have a look at that finish again
with a fifth national title on the line for Kenny Harrison.
Look how close this is, is both ladies lean.
I told you, you better have your photo finish eyes.
She came and got the world record holder, just on
the line. So here's another look at the women's hundred hurdle
final,
that's lame. 32 Nia Marshall who was
very well. Now, here comes the world record holder and then
Elisha Johnson had some work to do,
but she did it. So that's your team
for the World Championships, including the reigning
Champion. Nia Ali. Kenny Harrison Alicia Johnson and
Alia Armstrong. 1/100 of a second was all that was in it
between hair.
And Johnson with Alia Armstrong getting that third and final
spot. His Louis Johnson, what a finish.
It was Kenny, it was a strong wind, especially the second
half. Take me through it quickly. You know, I just try
to focus on my lane and try to clear those hurdles as fast as
possible.
I'm grateful to be back and get the win
Alicia. You seem to be so excited. Tell me about
the emotion here. I did everything. I was supposed to do we on
the second team this year?
Hey back talk, that's all I'm saying
Italy. How about you at the tape? I mean what a lien that was
Cry bit.
I just wanted it more than ever. I'm young inexperienced
in town bit, so, I just did everything I could. I left it
all on the track. That's it.
Did that experience is coming. World Championships here in
three weeks ladies. Congratulations.
