Borden's Savannah Sutherland is the NCAA women's 400-m hurdles champion after an impressive Saturday run.
Sutherland, 19, was a prolific runner during her high-school years, competing at the provincial, national and world levels. She placed third in the 400-m hurdles at the 2021 world athletics u-20 championships, and joined the University of Michigan in 2021 after graduating from high school.
The talk heading into Saturday’s final centred around favourites Britton Wilson from Arkansas and Massai Russell from Kentucky. But Sutherland hung near the front. On the broadcast, her name was mentioned for the first time at the three-quarter mark, just as she launched a kick that propelled her past the field.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
“People from Borden are the first to reach out and say ‘good luck at the meet’ before I’ve even posted anything, before a lot of people are even aware I’m competing this weekend. They already know. They’re always up-to-date on my meets, my results, everything. Having that support is so special to me — and knowing that I’m not just running for myself, if that makes sense.
And now she’s a national champion, with two more years of collegiate running ahead of her. That personal-best clocking on the weekend hit the Olympic qualifying time, though the window for that won’t open until July 1.Article contentBorden’s Savannah Sutherland crosses the finish line and wins the NCAA women’s 400-m hurdles championship on Saturday in Austin, Texas.
