Ackera Nugent avenges loss to Chanel Brissett as she runs away with NCAA Division I title
The 18-year-old freshman, who holds the U18 world record for the 100m hurdles and share of the U20 World Indoor 60m hurdles title, proved her class in winning in 7.92, 0.01 outside her personal best set two weeks ago.
She was a comfortable winner holding off the challenge of compatriot Daszay Freeman, a sophomore at Arkansas, who ran a personal best of 7.99 for the silver medal.
Texas senior Chanel Brissett, who defeated Nugent at the Big 12 Championships in late February, was third in 8.01.
The other Jamaican in the final Trishauna Hemmings, a junior at Clemson finished eighth in 8.16.
