The latest edition of the Trials of Miles x CITIUS MAG meets, the Kansas City Qualifier, did not disappoint. The races were competitive, exciting, the atmosphere looked incredible and it was an improvement from the Texas meet. Not only were there some Trials and Olympic standards met, but there was also a national record set among a lot of other exciting results. Here is the Kansas City Qualifier recap.
Adding the 100m and 110m hurdles to the program for the first time was great. Christina Clemons showed out and ran a strong 12.64 to win over a talented field. She started out strong and powered through all phases of the race. Michael Dickson took the men’s 110m hurdles with a 13.38. That is faster than the US Trials Standard, but not quite the Olympic Standard of 13.32.
