Grant Holloway Is The NCAA 110m Hurdles Record Holder
IT'S GRANT HOLLOWAY'S WORLD AND WE'RE ALL JUST LIVING IN IT.
IT'S GRANT HOLLOWAY'S WORLD AND WE'RE ALL JUST LIVING IN IT.
Today, with the entire audience at the Mike A. Myers Stadium on their feet, the Florida junior checked off the final to-do on his collegiate exit list by going fully Super Saiyan on the NCAA 110m hurdles record in 12.98—the only sub-13 mark ever by a collegiate athlete and the 2019 world lead.
Holloway broke one of the oldest NCAA records in the book—Renaldo Nehemiah's 13.00 hadn't been touched since 1979.
Although Holloway's performance was sensational, I'd be remiss not to mention that runner-up Daniel Roberts of Kentucky tied Nehemiah's former record in 13-flat. He faltered over the final two hurdles as Holloway maintained his composure and got the edge he needed to secure the win and the record.
Words simply do not suffice. Watch this thing of beauty right here:
An absolute BEAST??????
