DES MOINES, Iowa ? UTSA senior All-American Ryanne Dupree bettered her own school record in the women’s 100-meter hurdles with a runner-up finish on Saturday afternoon at Drake Stadium.
Dupree skimmed the hurdles to a 13.24 clocking for a narrow second-place showing behind the 13.22 posted by Tiffany Johnson of Iowa. Dupree was comfortably ahead of a pair of Texas A&M runners ? Jennifer Williams (13.43) and Tresha Henry (13.57) ? in punching her ticket to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in two weeks.
The 13.24 clocking was a .01-second improvement from the 13.25 Dupree registered in winning Kansas Relays in April. That time broke a seven year-old school record of 13.36 set by Tiffany Talbert in 2000. Combined with the 13.40 recorded in Friday’s prelims, Dupree has clocked under 13.82 in all 15 races this spring.
Dupree also is qualified for the NCAA Outdoor in the heptathlon with the nation’s third-best point total, a school-record 5,818 posted in finishing second at Texas Relays in early April.
The NCAA Outdoor is set for June 6-9 in Sacramento, Calif.
