Kentucky track star Abby Steiner breaks collegiate record to win national title

UK track and field star Abby Steiner is a national champion again.

The Wildcat sprinter earned her first outdoor title by finishing first in the 200-meter dash in collegiate-record time (21.8 seconds) Saturday at the NCAA outdoor championships in Eugene, Oregon.

Steiner and teammates Karimah Davis, Dajour Miles and Alexis Holmes also won the title in the 4x400-meter relay.

The UK women's track and field team finished third overall.

Steiner, who had twice won the indoor title in the 200-meter dash, beat LSU's Favour Ofili, the Southeastern Conference champion in the event, to win the race.
