In the 60h finals , Oregon star Aaliyah McCormack tripped going over the hurdle… she stumbled and fell as she crossed the finish line. So much went wrong in this meet, but amazingly the women finished in forth and are bringing home a team trophy.
For those that don’t know, the top four teams win trophies. Now my concern is if Aaliyah is injured. The NCAA outdoor Championships will be at Hayward Field. The women have a shot at doing very well, but they can ill afford going into the outdoor championships without two of their best athletes, Alysah Hickey and Aaliyah McCormack… ironically both are from San Diego and are former California State high school champions. I will add that both have a great attitude that is contagious with the other athletes.unfortunately Alasah couldn’t compete due to an ankle injury and Aaliyah tripped going over the last hurdle in the 60h.
When one considers the mishaps, making the podium was a moral victory for a bunch of women who compete with a lot of heart.
