Washington-bound senior aims for low-40-seconds time in 300 hurdles — something done just twice before
The Cathedral Catholic High School senior won the state 300-meter hurdles a year ago, clocking a best time of 42.19. She then transitioned to volleyball, where she was part of the Dons team that was ranked No. 1 in the nation, going 42-0, losing just one set all season.
“Having a target on my back is good. I love competition,” said Coleman, who ran her first hurdle races of the season last weekend in the Falcon Invitational at Torrey Pines, winning the 100s in 14.33 seconds before deciding to drop the 300s. “Competition helps me improve.”Her main competition in the 300 should come from Torrey Pines’ Karina Janik who a year ago clocked at 42.38 and finished third in the state championships. Janik’s twin sister Dominika wasn’t far back at 43.
“My goal for the 300s is the low-40s or better,” said Coleman, fully aware that only two girls have ever run that fast — current 400 hurdles world record-holder Sydney McLaughlin, who ran 38.90 at the Arcadia Invitational while a student at Union Catholic Regional High in Scotch Plains, New Jersey in 2017; and state record-bearer Lashinda Demus of Long Beach Wilson, who ran 39.98 in 2001.
That would also be the section record as Cathedral Catholic’s Dani Johnson clocked a time of 41.30 seconds in 2015.
