Kentucky eight-time All-American and reigning Southeastern Conference Indoor 200-meter champion Abby Steiner, the fastest female athlete in the event in the world this year at 22.57 seconds, joins DyeStat editor Erik Boal to discuss her training during the Coronavirus pandemic and preparing to return to school in mid-August to begin the new academic calendar and start fall offseason training. Steiner, who was selected Southeast Region Women's Track Athlete of the Year by the USTFCCCA, reflects on rehabilitating from injury that kept her sidelined from November to January and how she was able to return to form and compete at an elite level at the SEC championship meet with the help of Wildcats sprint coach Tim Hall and Kentucky head coach Lonnie Greene. She also revisits the missed opportunity to compete in March at the NCAA Division 1 Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, N.M., and what the potential was not only for her, but the Kentucky 4x400-meter relay. Steiner speaks about how Kentucky has the potential to challenge collegiate indoor and outdoor 4x400 records next year, especially with fifth-year senior Chloe Abbott returning to join her, Alexis Holmes, Masai Russell, Dajour Miles and Megan Moss as part of a talented sprint corps. She also shares her desire to capture an NCAA individual title in the 200 next year and the possibility of challenging the collegiate indoor record of 22.38 seconds set in 2018 by Harvard's Gabby Thomas. Steiner looks ahead not only to 2021 and the prospects of competing at the Olympic Trials and possibly earning a spot on the U.S. roster, but to the next five-year stretch of her career, and the opportunities to represent her country at a pair of Olympics and three World Outdoor Championships, including 2022 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. She also examines being a full-time track and field athlete after splitting time with her sprinting and playing soccer as a freshman for the Wildcats, along with working during the pandemic at a physical therapy facility in Ohio and playing an integral role in taking temperatures and screening individuals for COVID-19 in an effort to maintain a safe environment for all personnel.
