Share

Sophomore Allyson Felix of L.A. Baptist established a divisional record in the girls’ 100 with a career best of 11.68 at preliminaries at Citrus College.

Her time equaled the fastest in the state this year, by senior Monique Henderson of San Diego Morse.

“I knew the record was there to be broken, but I didn’t know if I would do it this week or next week,” Felix said. “So it feels good to get it out of the way. Usually my start is the weakest part of my race. Today, I felt strong throughout.”
