Hoffman boosts bid for Paris Paris
MANILA, Philippines — Olympics hopeful Lauren Hoffman yesterday set a new national record in the women’s 400-meter hurdles with a gold medal performance in the Hurricane Collegiate Invitational in Coral Gables, Florida.
The 24-year-old Fil-Am hurdler timed in 56.39 seconds in ruling the event and at the same time, pending final approval, erasing the two-year-old Philippine mark of 56.44 registered by Robyn Brown in the Hanoi Southeast Asian Games two years back.
Dominique Mustin of the United States wound up second in 57.02 while Zoe Pollock of Great Britain third in 57.54.
“I wanted this for so long,” said Hoffman on social media.
Hoffman is hoping to make it to Paris via direct qualification assuming she makes the cut in the 400m (50.95) and 400m hurdles (54.85) or via the universality slot.
