It was a battle to the very end between American athletes Jasmin Stowers and Queen Harrison in the women’s 100-meter hurdles at the Prefontaine Classic, Saturday at Hayward Field. The two ran their season’s best, but it was Stowers who took home the win, finishing in 12.59 seconds. Harrison was just behind in 12.64.

Going into the race, Stowers knew it was going to be a competitive one. Not only was she up against Harrison, but also two of the three women who made Olympic history when three American women swept the podium, Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin, and two-time Olympic medalist Dawn Harper-Nelson.

“Every girl out there today is amazing, so to win it means a lot,” said Stowers.

Stowers ran for her what was a clean race, but the same cannot be said for Harrison.
