Abby Steiner wins 200m final, crowned NCAA national champion

Kentucky track and field superstar Abby Steiner was crowned a national champion on Sunday afternoon as she continues her year of unbelievable dominance.

Steiner won the 200-meter women’s final at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, posting a personal-best time of 21.77 seconds while running into a slight headwind. That time is also the fastest by any woman in the world this year. With the victory, the Wildcat senior has qualified for the 200m world championships, which will be held July 15-24 at Hayward Field in Eugene, OR where she will represent the United States.
