The Glasgow Muller Indoor GP was held today, February 25, and there were some fine races. Among the finest was the women’s 60m hurdles, one of the toughest events in the sport , Christina Manning defeated Sharika Nelvis, one week after Sharika’s new American record. In the US champs, Keni Harrison took second, giving her the trip to Birmingham. With Christina Manning winning the 60m hurdles in Glasgow and the IAAF World tour, Christina now joins her two American compatriots in Birmingham. Three American hurdlers in the women’s 60m hurdles! Fantastic!
