Savannah Sutherland with a new PB in the women’s 400m hurdles, storming to a time of 54.45s at the NCAA Championships. 

Brook Overholt also in the same race with a new PB of 55.50

Keep an eye out on Craig Thorne, a 110m hurdler. Hit a time of 13.47 PB today at the NACAC's (but was later disqualified). It seems like his timing is improving with each race.

Mcbride was injured a lot last season and didn't run a lot. Rumors are Knight had achillies problems (unconfirmed)
