BYU's Alyssa Dalton smiles after finishing the 100-meter hurdles at the NCAA Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon, last weekend. She competed on a torn ACL suffered during the NCAA Regionals.

PROVO — Someday, Jordan High’s new head track and field coach Alyssa Dalton might have to corner an athlete and make a challenge about working through adversity, blocking out pain, rising to the moment.

Her credentials will be impeccable.

Last weekend Dalton ran in the NCAA Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon, as a BYU 100-meter hurdler, and did so with a torn ACL in her right knee suffered at the NCAA Regionals in Sacramento.
