Stowers Puts on a Show at Drake - IAAFPublished by
Stowers Stuns with 12.40 100m Hurdles at Drake Relays, Lavillenie DefeatedPublished by IAAF on April 25, 2015 Jasmin Stowers provided the undoubted highlight of the final day of the Drake Relays when she scorched over the barriers to win the 100m hurdles in a meeting record and personal best of 12.40 in Des Moines, USA, on Saturday (25). Aided by a 1.5 metres-per-second breeze on her back but still facing chilly conditions, Stowers sliced 0.31 from her personal best, moved to 12th on the all-time list for the event and defeated a top-class field in Des Moines that included 2008 Olympic champion Dawn Harper Nelson. Harper Nelson, last year’s Diamond Race winner in the event, was second in 12.71 just edging out Kristi Castlin, who was third in 12.72, with world champion Brianna Rollins fourth in 12.75. "The time that I ran was crazy to me," said Stowers. "It shows me that I can do (well) for the world trials and make the world team and possibly the Olympics the next year."
