Burnett shatters 60M record twice as track and field Tigers medal in Manhattan

Records are made to be broken, so Alicia Burnett shattered her own. Burnett shaved off 0.12 seconds from her sprint two weekends ago to finish in 7.28 seconds, becoming the fastest 60-meter women’s sprinter in Mizzou history. But that was only the preliminary round. Burnett had another chance to make history, and she did. She set the new record in 7.21 flat at the DeLoss Dodds Invitational in Manhattan, Kan. Saturday. The multi-talented sprinter then placed fourth in the 200-meter race in 24.06, the fourth fastest time on Mizzou’s indoor record book, and, given her training progression, she may challenge the top spots soon.
