Kyra Jefferson's 200m NCAA outdoor record in 2017

next event on the track the 200 meters which will be run in it's unorthodox way but the way of which I remember being run every time at UCLA you see the records there Deshawn Stephens with the number one amongst allegiance and number four time in the world this year he's the semifinals in Kyra Jefferson in the blue of Florida ran a great semi she certainly did Dwight she clocked twenty two point six which was the one of the best marks in the preliminary competition she looked so strong especially running off the turn right there this senior for the Gators looking to put an exclamation point on her collegiate career and the 200 meters knowing that she was going to have to go up against some hot competition from the University of Oregon within the final and here is the University of Oregon we mentioned earlier that they did not qualify very well they had preliminary heat but it would be enough to push them through as you're looking this is semifinal heat number two Britney Brown from Iowa looking really strong in right there that you can see Oregon coming up very strong leader in the race that's deja Stephens out in front that area on a Washington closing strong as well so they look to continue that momentum moving forward in the 200 meters looking right now at deja Stevens the collegiate leader at 200 meters Mercy's invested 20 2.09 one of the best marks in the world so far this season and we've already seen her gets second in the 100 meters I'd in Lane eight her teammate who qualified on time and today the sophomore Arianna Washington she swept both sprints last year here the defending champion in this said that six-time all-american Arianna Washington again this is a huge event for the Oregon Ducks scoring-wise the potential that they have in those two athletes potential spoiler senior Kyra Jefferson her father Thomas Jefferson besides being the father of our country won a bronze medal at the Olympic Games in 1984 in Los Angeles and she's been on somewhat of a revenge to her she had a hamstring injury last outdoor season so she's really get responded very well this season here's how they will line up Oregon in four of the deja Stevens The Olympian and Ariana Washington the defending champion out in Lane 8 USC needs a good finish from Deana Hill to try and move up the leaderboard so Stephenson for Jefferson and five and Ariana Washington outside in Lane eight that in reaction to the ventilation Stevens around Washington's goal is to not see anybody else in the race but already alia Brown that from am is making that not hollandaise sauce Stevens ran a heck of a curve but Kyra Jefferson is making a move on Stevens its Jefferson trying to close the gap the senior versus the junior MJ so Stevens goes down Deshawn Stephens just ten meters not even from the finish in Jefferson wins it 22:02 for Kyra Jefferson who was running a phenomenal race anyway deja Stevens gets up and appears to be walking away Arielle watt on a Washington ends up second 22:39 but that was so odd looking we need to see the replay on that Kyra Jefferson overcome with emotion she just ran the race of her life and we have seen the track be slick and some other events especially in the men's events yesterday but it doesn't appear that the track is that slick at this point but let's look and see exactly what happened for Dasia Stevens she was moving so well and with so much power I'd almost just looked like she tripped this might tell us a little bit more Jefferson came up on her right look at deja ah Steven starting to lose form running across her body she's just hoping for that finish line to come and I think she may have just started to lean early look at what happens to her the runners on the inside of her just barely this is Britney Brown of Iowa but still not to be overshadowed the 22.0 two were the one point one aiding win for Kyra Jefferson she is all the way back and then some one of the best times ever run amongst collegians and the one time in the monks the collegiate ranks at 22:02 number four in the world and she is downstairs with Jill and she just looked at me and said oh my god Jill I have a PR since my junior year you got out but you saw and felt Dasia right next to you what went through your mind when she went down I didn't know what happened I was just focusing on the finished night I saw her in my peripherals and I was just trying to make sure I just kept digging and just trusted myself and trust the guy to get me through this freeze it has been a long road for you coming back after sec outdoors and now this how does n-c-double-a champion sound to you it sounds amazing I always loved the way outdoor and all year me I've said that I haven't went fast in your tweets before and it's just a blessing like this was god this is not me today congratulations well that is a very interesting turn of events Dasia Stevens's that did not finish which means she does get she gets no points she could have gotten up she walked off the track a doesn't appeared though she's hurt but she needed to walk across the finish line to get the one point but Kyra Jefferson 22:02 phenomenal performance for the Florida senior
