Another day, another legendary performance from two of the greatest track and field collegiate athletes in the history of the sport. This time, the fast times were run in Gainesville at the Florida Relays.
Julien Alfred, who runs for the University of Texas, had a great two days of racing at the meet. On Friday, she ran a blistering time of 21.91 in the women’s 200m, which was a lifetime best, and a Saint Lucian women’s 200m record.
She followed up her record breaking 200m performance with another elite performance in the women’s 100m. Alfred won the event, running 10.72 (2.4+), which is one of the fastest times in all-conditions in the world this season.
It’s the fastest 100m All-Conditions at 10.72 (2.4+) for us 🤘
