The Top 11 Most Thrilling Moments of IAAF World U20 Championships


8. Anna Cockrell reigns supreme in 400m hurdles

Anna Cockrell won the 400m hurdles over Jamaica's fierce Shannon Kalawan with an incisive, well-executed race. Her time of 55.20 won convincingly over Kalawan's 56.54, registers as a new PB and ties for No. 2 all-time in U.S. prep history. Leslie Maxie ran the same time in 1984--a mark that stood as the national high school record for 32 years until Syndey McLaughlin lowered it to 54.15 this July.
