After posting a 400m hurdle time of 54.91 a few weeks ago on this same track, Glenn nearly lowered her career best by a full second with a sterling time of 54.02. That time takes over the world lead for 2024 and ranks Glenn the No. 7 performer on the collegiate all-time list and No. 2 on the UA all-time list behind Britton Wilson’s 53.08 from 2022.
The next best time from the 400m hurdle prelim was 55.82 by Gabrielle Matthews of Ole Miss, who was in the same heat at Glenn.
Qualifying on the first day of the SEC Championships had four Razorbacks advancing in three events for four finalists in Saturday events. In addition to Glenn the group included Sanu Jallow in the 800m as well as Amber Anning and Nickisha Pryce in the 200m.
Jallow advanced to the 800m final as runner-up in the third heat with a time of 2:05.53 to finish behind LSU’s Lorena Rangel Batres (2:04.97). Another pair of Razorbacks raced in the second heat with Analisse Batista (2:07.71) and Ainsley Erzen (2:08.55) placing third and fourth. They were 11th and 15th overall.
Anning posted an outdoor best of 22.66 as runner-up in the first prelim heat of the 200m into a -0.5 wind. Anning moves to No. 4 on the UA all-time list and No. 14 on the British all-time list. A 22.60 indoors by Anning became the British record.
In the third heat of the 200m prelim, Pryce finished second in a career best 22.75, moving to No. 5 on the UA all-time list while Rosey Effiong placed fourth in 22.90. The fifth heat had Ariane Linton setting a career best of 23.06, which ranks No. 11 on the UA all-time list.
Sara Van Aken is currently in ninth place with 3,067 points after the first day of the heptathlon.
