Moments after taking third in the 4x100-meter relay, Fort Worth Dunbar's Kalani Lawson found herself atop the podium for the second straight season in the 100-meter hurdles. This time, with a new Class 4A record.
With a time of 13.89, the junior broke her own record set last season. From the moment the gun went off, she jumped out in front of the field and was followed closely by a strong field. Falyn Lott of Frisco Panther Creek took second with a time of 14.03, just edging out Sunnyvale's Chiora Enyinna-Okeigbo by just .01 seconds.

The Frisco Panther Creek senior was well ahead of the rest of the field after the first pair of hurdles and used a strong kick to set a new record. The USC commit left no doubt from the moment the gun went off.
