Chanel Brissett advances to the Olympic Trials Semifinals and Ties State Record

Cheltenham's Chanel Brissett is headed to the semifinals of the 100 hurdles at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

The rising senior clocked a PR and a PA#1 of 12.95 in the first round of the Olympic Trials high hurdles. That time ties Candy Young's 1979 state record in the event. That is also the third fastest time by a high schooler. She is the 14th of 21 qualifiers for the semis. The semifinals are slated to go off at 6:58 EDT on Friday.
