Freshman hurdler Tobi Amusan was the runner-up at the NCAA Championships in Eugene, OR.
Freshman hurdler Tobi Amusan raced her best on the grandest stage: the NCAA Championships this past weekend.
It began on Thursday, June 9, when Amusan saved her season by capturing the final qualifying spot during the preliminary round of the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 12.98. She crossed the finish line in fourth place and almost miraculously made the finals round.
Going into Saturday’s race, on paper Amusan did not seem to threaten the other opponents. However, she proved the odds wrong and ran the best race of her life.
