Brianna Rollins ran 12:39 to win the 100H. She is now 4th fastest U.S. ever. Why no mention of this anywhere?

WIND please
1.7
legal wind of +1.7 m/s. smokin' time, probably the highlight of this meet. 12.39 is the new WL as well, though as a collegian she has the advantage in June. who knows if she can hold form for another couple months
Smokin' time! The women's hurdles were the world class performance of the meet. Times of 12.39 and 53.21 are medal contending marks.
I can just the see the agents chasing those two now.
That's a bloody slow sprint.
I thought someone broke 12:40 for the 5k.

I don't think it will be too hard, her fitness won't just go away. I think she'll be able to keep enough fitness to medal, assuming she was peaking for NCAA's. She's just gotta take a short rest and take it a little easier for a bit so she doesn't burnout.
Faster than Lolo! Wowsers!!!!
One interesting thing about the collegians busting out some unbelievable times is the twitter reactions from professional runners:
Lolo Jones:
"Pumped up for @KIMBEAUX_ (Kimberlyn Duncan) and love that hurdler @Bri_Rollin stole the show!"
"To the college athletes that didn't do well continue to work hard. I know plenty of Olympic champs that never won an NCAA title."
"An even longer list of Non NCAA champs that won Olympic medals. Take heart and don't be discouraged. U are the future for USA Track & Field."
Ginnie Crawford:
"RT @joannadhayes: Congratulations @Bri_Rollin on your NCAA title and record! 12.39!!! #BlazinFast"
Joanna Hayes:
"Congratulations @Bri_Rollin on your NCAA title and record! 12.39!!! #BlazinFast"
"With her 12.39, @Bri_Rollin goes to fourth on the U.S. all-time list behind Devers (12.33), @joannadhayes (12.37), and @DHarp100mH (12.37)."
Allyson Felix:
"RT @joannadhayes: Congratulations @Bri_Rollin on your NCAA title and record! 12.39!!! #BlazinFast"
"Congrats! Beyond impressive! RT @Flotrack: 100wH: @Bri_Rollin with a NEW COLLEGIATE RECORD! 12.39! 2nd fastest US 100w hurdle time ever!"
"Huge congrats to @UgHLyDuCkLiN & @KIMBEAUX_ !!! Way to go ladies! The future of American sprinting is bright!!"
"Big congrats to everyone at NCAA's!! You guys showed out!"
Damu Cherry-Mitchell:
"100wH: @Bri_Rollin with a NEW COLLEGIATE RECORD! 12.39 for a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. 2nd fastest 100w hurdle time ever!"
Queen Harrison:
"100wH: @Bri_Rollin with a NEW COLLEGIATE RECORD! 12.39 for a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. 2nd fastest 100w hurdle time ever!"
T'erea Brown:
"RIDICULOUS!!! GREAT JOB HUN @Bri_Rollin"
Amazingly, America's two top 100m hurdlers (Dawn Harper and Kellie Wells) had nothing to say, no praise for Brianna Rollins, Kori Carter, or the other spectacular NCAA performers. Of course they had time to tweet about their own recent successes hurdling -- I'm guessing that Michelle Beadle wouldn't be surprised.
