WATCH Sydney Williams clock her state-leading - and SMAC Championships record - time of 8.12 in the 55 hurdles!
Perhaps the championship 60 meter hurdles will finally reveal who the top hurdler in the state truly is. Postell and Williams currently share the top spot at 8.12 in the 55 hurdles with Harrison just one tenth of a second behind. It will also be a rematch of the 2A state championships where Harrison beat Williams by less than a tenth of a second.
