Hoffman resets Phl 100m hurdles mark

MANILA, Philippines — Olympic aspirant Lauren Hoffman has made a habit of rearranging national records.

On a fair-weathered Sunday in Durham, North Carolina, Hoffman, seeking a ticket to the Paris Games in July, shattered a Philippine mark anew, this time in the women’s 100-meter hurdles where she clocked 13.41 seconds in the Duke Invitational.

The reigning Asian 400m hurdles champion smashed the 17-year-old standard set by Sheena Atilano in Pune, India.

It came a little over two weeks after she set a national record in the 400m hurdles in the Hurricane Collegiate Invitational in Coral Gables, Florida where she clocked 56.39 seconds.
