Sarah Player
got her three step working at the end of the 2006 season and broke Jamie
Klages' record in the 100 meter hurdles by .06 seconds at the Central
League finals at Patrick Henry. In 2007 at the Jaguar invite she lowered it to 16.10.
She also
has school records in both the
300 meter hurdles,
100 meter Dash,
and
200 meter dash.
Here's an mpg video of Sarah winning
the 100 hurdles at league finals.
Previous record holder Jamie Klages 16.30
Jamie Klages' electronic time of 16.30 over 33 inch hurdles was the first clear improvement to the 100 meter hurdles record in 18 years. Although her time was the same as the old hand-timed record, FAT times are considered to be .24 seconds slower for sprints than hand-timed races because there is no human reaction involved. Also, since the race was over hurdles that were 3 inches higher one must assume the race was more difficult. The electronic time alone, however, is enough to justify this as the new record for the 100 hurdles. You'll find Jamie on the record board in two other places. She's the current record holder for the high jump and is a member of the current record for the 4x400 relay.
Previous record holder Lani Kuhlow
16.64 (2001)
The first girl to approach the Georgia Chakos'
1985 record (set at 30") was Lani Kuhlow who ran 16.64 over 33 inch
hudles at Escondido during the CIF prelims. If the standard .24 conversion
from FAT to hand-timed events is applied Lani's time falls .34 seconds
short of Chakos' record, but the other factors to consider are the greater
height, the rounding-up of hand times, and the difference between running
on all-weather and dirt tracks. At this point there was no clear way to
separate the two records so we kept them both as co-records.
Lani was also on both the record 4x100
and
4x400 relay teams.
Previous record holders (33"):
Kelly Marshall 17.9 (1996)
Courtney Hakes 20.6 (1994)
In
1994 the height of the women's high school 100 meter hurdle event was
raised from 30 inches to 33 inches producing a new event, the women's
high hurdles. Kelly Marshall set the 33" version of the record with
a time of 17.9 set in 1996 on the new Coronado track. She's seen in the
photo to the right with Toni Barraza and miler Jessica Lunt.
Courtney Hakes set the original record at the new height in 1994 at at Balboa stadium with 20.6.
Women's 100 Meter Hurdles (30"): Georgia Chakos 16.3hc
Georgia Chakos (left) set the women's 110 yard hurdle record
at Sweetwater High in 1985 with a time of 16.4 which was later converted
to 100 meters in 16.3c.
Chakos was also a member
of the1984 record 4x100 relay team.
