Hall comes down to final chance at record 

 

By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor

 
Dior Hall of Denver, Colo. owns five of the top nine 60-meter hurdle performances of all-time and her three-year mission to break the national record (8.16) comes down to a final attempt this week at New Balance Nationals Indoor.


Hall won the championship at The Armory in 2012 and hit a late hurdle and finished seventh last year.


Hall ran 8.19 as a sophomore, 8.17 as a junior and his a season's best of 8.18 this year. She is so tantalyzingly close to Jackie Coward's 2008 record of 8.16.


The top challenger is Chantel Ray VA, who is US#1 in the 55 hurdles at 7.90 seconds and US#2 in the 60 at 8.37. Sierra Brabham-Lawrence PA, Ciara Leonard PA and Quenee' Dale MI are ranked in the top five.


There are four boys who can claim to be US#1 in the indoor hurdles. Isaiah Moore NC and Grant Holloway VA share the US#1 best time in the 55 hurdles at 7.28 and a pair of Ohioans, Chad Zallow and Davon Anderson, are tied in the 60 hurdles at 7.84. Anderson beat Zallow in their only head-to-head matchup.


But there is a fifth athlete that would have to rate as the favorite and that's Marlon Humphrey, an Alabama football recruit who was also US#1 in the 110 hurdles last spring (13.38).


Humphrey was second at NBNI last year and Moore was third.
